Abstract
The present invention relates to a three dimensional (or 3D) microfluidic system comprising a plurality of layers stacked upon each other, characterised in that at least one of said layers consists of a 1st and at least one 2nd parts, distinct from each other, with the 2nd part being porous and wettable by a solution of interest, nesting into a recess of the 1st part being non-porous and/or non-wettable by said solution of interest, wherein said system can possibly have a built-in reservoir; a method for manufacturing the same and different uses thereof.

A three dimensional (3D) microfluidic system comprising a plurality of layers stacked upon each other, wherein at least one of said layers consists of a 1st and at least one 2nd part, distinct from each other, with the previously cut off 2nd part being porous and wettable by a solution of interest, nesting into a recess of the 1st part being non-porous and/or non-wettable by said solution of interest, said 2nd part acting as a fluidic channel providing transfer of said solution of interest by a capillarity effect into the plane and/or thickness of said system.
