Abstract
Disclosed herein are embodiments of a device, designed to receive a microfluidic cartridge, comprising alignment features that are used for aligning internal components of the device. Alignment features are also used for aligning a microfluidic cartridge that is inserted into the device, with components of the device.
Claims10
A device configured to receive a microfluidic cartridge, the device comprising:
- (a) a kinematic interface for interfacing the microfluidic cartridge and the device, the kinematic interface comprising a vee and a flat;
- (b) a latch that secures the microfluidic cartridge in place after the microfluidic cartridge is inserted into the device;
- (c) an actuator configured to activate movement of fluid contained within the microfluidic cartridge;
- and
- (d) a user interface.
2 more elements
A device configured to receive a microfluidic cartridge, the device comprising:
- a base comprising two pins, each of the two pins being oriented on the base such that each pin interfaces with a vee and flat geometry on the microfluidic cartridge.
A device comprising:
- a base comprising three pins, and
- a gantry comprising three slots,
- wherein alignment of the three slots with the three pins results in planar and rotational alignment of the base and the gantry.
