Abstract
Integrated microfluidic ejector chips and methods of use are provided. An example of an integrated microfluidic ejector chip includes a first set of microfluidic ejectors fed with a reference solution, and a second set of microfluidic ejectors fed with a sample solution. The first set of microfluidic ejectors and the second set of microfluidic ejectors are disposed on the integrated microfluidic ejector chip to print a pattern of proximately located spots on a sensor.
Claims15
A system, comprising an integrated microfluidic ejector chip, comprising:
- a first set of microfluidic ejectors fed with a reference solution;
- and
- a second set of microfluidic ejectors fed with a sample solution, wherein the first set of microfluidic ejectors and the second set of microfluidic ejectors are disposed on the integrated microfluidic ejector chip to print a pattern of proximately located spots on a sensor.
A method for analysis using an integrated microfluidic ejector chip, comprising:
- dispensing a pattern of spots on a sensor, wherein different spots are dispensed by different microfluidic ejectors fed with different solutions;
- performing a hyperspectral analysis of the sensor;
- calibrating signal intensity to a reference fluid;
- and
- estimating a concentration of the different solutions.
