Abstract
Embodiments are described for treating a fluid, e.g., a biological fluid. The embodiments may include systems, apparatuses, and methods. Embodiments may provide for a flow cell, with a plurality of manipulation elements, through which a fluid is flowed. The fluid may be treated (e.g., exposed to energy) as it moves through the flow cell. In embodiments, the flow cell may be used to inactivate pathogens in the fluid.
Claims13
A flow cell for manipulating a fluid, the flow cell comprising
- a first channel;
- a first splitter in fluid communication with the first channel;
- a second channel in fluid communication with the first splitter and a first elbow;
- a third channel in fluid communication with the first splitter and a second elbow;
- a third elbow in fluid communication with the first elbow;
- a first recombiner in fluid communication with the third elbow and the second elbow;
- a fourth channel in fluid communication with the first recombiner;
- a second splitter in fluid communication with the fourth channel;
- a fifth channel in fluid communication with the second splitter and a fifth elbow;
- a sixth channel in fluid communication with the second splitter and a sixth elbow;
- a second recombiner in fluid communication with the fifth elbow and the sixth elbow;
- and
- a seventh channel in fluid communication with the second recombiner, wherein at least one of the first channel, the second channel, the third channel, the fourth channel, the fifth channel, the sixth channel, or the seventh channel comprises a first dimension that is between about 0.5 mm and about 5 mm.
