Claims20
An integrated system for controlling fluid flow in a microfluidic device, wherein said system comprises:
- (a) a first pressure module configured to control pressure within a control layer of said microfluidic device, wherein said control layer comprises one or more valves;
- (b) a second pressure module configured to control pressure within a flow layer of said microfluidic device, wherein said flow layer comprises one or more flow channels, and wherein said one or more valves of said control layer are configured to control flow within at least one of said one or more flow channels of said flow layer;
- (c) an electronics module configured to transmit and receive one or more signals between (i) said electronics module and (ii) said first pressure module, said second pressure module, or both said first and said second pressure modules;
- (d) a housing configured to house said first pressure module, said second pressure module, and said electronics module;
- and
- (e) a user interface configured to transmit and receive one or more signals between said user interface and said electronics module.
