Abstract
A microfluidic device with a filter includes a substrate; a flowpath including a well formed in the substrate in fluid communication with a channel formed in the substrate; and a filter disposed across the flowpath.
Claims33
A microfluidic device, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a flowpath including a well formed in the substrate in fluid communication with a channel formed in the substrate;
- and
- a filter disposed across the flowpath.
1 more element
A method of treatment of process fluid with loose process material, the method comprising:
- providing a microfluidic device comprising a substrate, a flowpath including a well formed in the substrate in fluid communication with a channel formed in the substrate, and a filter disposed across the flowpath, the filter having openings sized to strain the loose process material from the process fluid;
- depositing the loose process material in the flowpath upstream of the filter;
- mixing the loose process material with the process fluid;
- and
- draining the process fluid from the loose process material through the filter.
2 more elements
A microfluidic device for use with loose process material comprising:
- a substrate;
