Abstract
A microfluidic element comprising at least one pair of plates, at least one of said plates having an open channel distributed on a surface that is adjacent the other plate in the pair. In use, said plates are releasably clamped together so as to form an enclosed, continuous microfluidic channel between the plates that is suitable for the passage of a fluid.
Claims18
A microfluidic element comprising at least one pair of plates, at least one of said plates having an open channel distributed on a surface that is adjacent the other plate in the pair wherein, in use, said plates are releasably clamped together so as to form an enclosed, continuous microfluidic channel between the plates that is suitable for the passage of a fluid and wherein the microfluidic element comprises a sealing means between the pair of plates, the sealing means comprising a projection along the periphery of the channel in at least one of the plates, whereby the projection engages with and is at least partly compressed by the other plate when the plates are clamped together.
