Abstract
The present invention describes a device consisting of a rotor, a holding-down device, and a base plate. The base plate is normally a fluidic system, a planar fluidic system for example or a fluidic system with several fluidic ports for a directed guidance of liquids or gases through different channels, channel systems, cavities or tubing, for the combination liquid and gas streams, or for prevention of liquid flows.
Claims19
A system consisting of a rotor located inside of a holding-down device, said rotor will be being pressed onto a base plate by a by the holding-down device, wherein the base plate possesses openings from one or more channels, which open out into fluidic structures of the rotor mounted on the base plate, in order to guarantee a directed flow of liquids or gases in different channels, channel systems, cavities, or tubing, to facilitate their coupling or to inhibit any flow of liquids or gases.
The system of 1, in which the base plate is a fluidic or microfluidic system and the holding-down device is formed like a cap and presses the rotor tightly onto the counter structure of the base plate.
