Abstract
A microfluidic device is described herein which comprises a micron-sized deep flow channel and a sensor. The micron-sized deep flow channel is configured such that a sample solution and a reference solution flow side-by-side to one another in a single sensing region of the sensor. The single sensing region is divided into a detection region and a reference region which are contiguous to one another and which are respectively interfaced with the sample solution and the reference solution that flow side-by-side to one another in a longitudinal direction within the micron-sized deep flow channel.

A microfluidic device comprising:
- a micron-sized deep flow channel;
- and
- a sensor, where the micron-sized deep flow channel is configured such that a sample solution and a reference solution flow side-by-side to one another in a single sensing region of the sensor, wherein the single sensing region is divided into a detection region and a reference region which are contiguous to one another and which are respectively interfaced with the sample solution and the reference solution that flow side-by-side to one another in a longitudinal direction within the micron-sized deep flow channel.
A microfluidic device comprising:
- a plurality of mixers;
- a micron-sized deep flow channel;
- and
- a sensor, wherein a first fluid and a second fluid are divided successively by the mixers into multiple streams with each stream corresponding to a different concentration of the first fluid, wherein the micron-sized deep flow channel is configured to receive the multiple streams where a gradient of the first fluid concentration is formed across the micron-sized deep flow channel perpendicular to a direction of a flow of the multiple streams, wherein the multiple streams flow over a single sensing region of the sensor.
A well plate comprising:
- a plurality of microfluidic devices, each microfluidic device comprises:
- a micron-sized deep flow channel;
- and
- a sensor, where the micron-sized deep flow channel is configured such that a sample solution and a reference solution flow side-by-side to one another in a single sensing region of the sensor, wherein the single sensing region is divided into a detection region and a reference region which are contiguous to one another and which are respectively interfaced with the sample solution and the reference solution that flow side-by-side to one another in a longitudinal direction within the micron-sized deep flow channel.
