Fluid control and processing system

A fluid control and processing system comprising:

• a housing having a plurality of chambers;
• and
• a valve body including a fluid sample processing region continuously coupled fluidicly with a fluid displacement region, the fluid displacement region being depressurizable to draw fluid into the fluid displacement region and pressurizable to expel fluid from the fluid displacement region, the valve body including a plurality of external ports, the fluid sample processing region being fluidicly coupled with at least two of the external ports, the fluid displacement region being fluidicly coupled with at least one of the external ports, and the valve body being adjustable with respect to the housing to place at least one of the external ports selectively in fluidic communication with the plurality of chambers.

A method for controlling fluid flow between a valve and a plurality of chambers, the valve including a plurality of external ports and a fluid displacement region continuously coupled fluidicly with a fluid sample processing region which is fluidicly coupled with at least two of the external ports, the method comprising:

• adjusting the valve with respect to the plurality of chambers to place the external ports selectively in fluidic communication with the plurality of chambers.

A fluid control and processing system for controlling fluid flow among a plurality of chambers, the system comprising:

• a body including a fluid sample processing region continuously coupled fluidicly with a fluid displacement region, the fluid displacement region being depressurizable to draw fluid into the fluid displacement region and pressurizable to expel fluid from the fluid displacement region, the body including a plurality of external ports, the fluid sample processing region including a plurality of fluid processing ports each fluidicly coupled with one of the external ports, the fluid displacement region being fluidicly coupled with at least one of the external ports, and the body being rotatably adjustable around an axis and relative to the plurality of chamber to allow the external ports to be placed selectively in fluidic communication with the plurality of chambers.
