Microfluidic Device

Abstract

A microfluidic device for guiding the flow of a fluid sample is disclosed. The microfluidic device comprises a base plate (1) that extends in two lateral directions and has at least one through-going recess (1.1) in the vertical direction; a flow-through unit (2) that has at least a first and a second flow-through site (3.1, 3.2); and a plate structure (4). The flow-through unit (2) is arranged relatively to the recess (1.1) of the base plate (1) so that a vertical fluid flow from one side of this arrangement to the opposite side through each of the first and the second flow-through sites (3.1, 3.2) is enabled. Further, the plate structure (4) and the flow-through unit (2) are arranged relatively to each other so that a linking channel cavity (41) is formed for enabling a lateral fluid flow from the first to the second flow-through site (3.1, 3.2).
