Claims15
A centrifuge unit for a microfluidic device for the processing of liquid samples, the centrifuge unit comprising:
- a centrifuge cup;
- and
- at least one centripetal force-dependent valve arrangement.
A microfluidic device for the processing of liquid samples, comprising:
- at least one centrifuge unit comprising:
- a centrifuge cup;
- and
- at least one centripetal force-dependent valve arrangement.
1 more element
A method for operating a centrifuge unit having a centrifuge cup and at least one centripetal force-dependent valve arrangement in a microfluidic device, the method comprising:
- after introduction of the sample into the centrifuge cup, rotating the centrifuge cup at a first speed in a first phase and rotating the centrifuge cup at a second, increased speed in a subsequent second phase, wherein the increased speed causes actuation of the at least one centripetal force-dependent valve arrangement of the centrifuge unit.
