Abstract
A packaging system for microfluidics including a microfluidic modular packaging system comprising: a packaging jig comprising a body, at least two module ports for placing microfluidic modules, at least one external fluidic port, and at least one internal fluidic port; at least two die platforms adapted to fit into the module ports and move the microfluidic modules; at least one fluidic control die; at least one circuit board, and at least one cover. HPLC applications are particularly important for proteomics research and commercialization.
Claims25
A microfluidic modular packaging system comprising:
- a packaging jig comprising a body, at least two module ports for placing microfluidic modules, at least one external fluidic port, and at least one internal fluidic port;
- at least two die platforms adapted to fit into the module ports and move the microfluidic modules,
- at least one fluidic control die;
- at least one circuit board, and
- at least one cover.
A packaging jig for a microfluidic modular packaging system comprising
- (i) a packaging jig body having module ports for placing said microfluidic modules;
- (ii) external fluidic ports;
- and
- (iii) internal fluidic ports;
- wherein said body comprises a plurality of channels providing fluid communication between said external and internal fluidic ports and not providing fluid communication between said microfluidic modules.
A microfluidic system comprising:
- (A) a jig comprising:
- (i) external fluidic ports, (ii) internal fluidic ports, and (iii) a jig body comprising a plurality of channels providing fluidic communication between said external and internal fluidic ports;
- (B) a microfluidic die comprising:
- (i) a substrate having a front surface and a back surface, (ii) microfluidic ports on the front surface, wherein said microfluidic ports do not extend from said front surface to said back surface, and (iii) a plurality of channels on the front surface, wherein said channels provide microfluidic communication between said microfluidic ports;
- and wherein said microfluidic die is disposed on the jig so that said microfluidic ports of the die match internal fluidic ports of the jig.
