Abstract
The present disclosure is directed generally to devices and methods with the purpose of interfacing microfluidic devices with macrofluidic devices. Specifically, the present disclosure includes the de-102 sign of a fluidic tile in such a way that macrofluidic structures and/or microfluidic structures may be placed in fluid communication with each other such that assays, reactions, processes, or procedures may be carried out within the tile with the same reagent, sample, biological sample, or fluid volumes as known in the art for performing such assays, reactions, processes, or procedures.
Claims1
An apparatus for processing fluids comprising:
- a first substrate comprising at least one microfluidic structure;
- and
- a second substrate comprising at least one macrofluidic structure, said at least one macrofluidic structure corresponding to said at least one microfluidic structure in said first substrate.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
