Abstract
A centrifugal microfluidic platform is combined with a stationary liquid pumping system which pumps liquids into microfluidic chips by dripping through a stationary dispensing nozzle without any physical contact or coupling between the nozzles and the microfluidic chips.
Claims19
1-7. (canceled)
A microfluidic lab-on-chip comprising:
- a chip body having a width and a length, a top side and a bottom side when assembled on a centrifuge;
- a loading chamber formed in the chip body;
- a loading port formed in the top of the loading chamber which exposes the loading chamber to the exterior of the chip body, the loading port having a diameter large enough to permit loading by dripping from a suitably positioned nozzle;
- and
- at least one fluidic channel formed in the chip body for fluid communication between the loading chamber and the exterior of the chip body.
