Definitions

  • Microfluidic systems have been the subject of biotechnological research and development in recent years and are increasingly being used in the form of so-called lab-on-a-chip systems, among others. also used for medical diagnosis in point-of-care products.
  • the terms microfluidic system and lab-on-a-chip are used synonymously here.
  • On these microfluidic chip systems previously processed protocols in the laboratory are converted as completely as possible into a microfluidic structure on the Lab-on-a-Chip, so that the protocols are largely automated and run with as few manual interventions as possible.
  • the chip systems are usually used with operator equipment, the operator equipment is equipped with a receptacle for the chip and possibly electrical, fluidic and aktuatorischen interfaces to the chip.
  • Pressure-actuated or pressure-operated in the sense of the microfluidic systems or structures according to the invention means that fluid volumes in the microfluidic systems or structures according to the invention can be driven or driven via a delivery pressure acting from outside the microfluidic system or the microfluidic structure, for example generated by a syringe pump.
  • a passive drive for example a drive acting solely by means of capillary forces, is not possible and provided for the microfluidic systems or structures according to the invention since the cross-sectional dimensions of the microfluidic structures in the microfluidic systems according to the invention are at least partially so large or the surface textures of the microfluidic structures are formed in this way in that there is insufficient capillary pressure for the reliable delivery of fluid through the microfluidic systems.
  • the fluid chamber has a preferably elongated shape, i. its length in the flow direction is greater than its largest cross-sectional dimension of the fluid chamber, more preferably by several times longer than the largest cross-sectional dimension of the fluid chamber.
  • the supply and / or discharge channel respectively opens at a short side or tip into the elongated fluid chamber.
  • the addition port is closable.
  • the pressure difference prevailing in the pressure-driven drive of the liquids can be kept at a lower level in the case of a closed addition opening and it is possible to operate at a pressure lowered in relation to the surroundings.
  • the addition opening is preferably designed to be self-closing, for example by attaching a septum or an elastic lidding film. It is therefore possible to apply sample liquids as second liquid volumes without the risk of the sample liquids emerging from the microfluidic structure according to the invention. Also, a contamination of the interiors of the microfluidic structure according to the invention can be prevented.
  • structures for the secure positioning of the second liquid volume on the holding position comprise in particular two-sided structures, such as stelae on both sides of the feed opening in the fluid chamber, since in this way the holding position for the second liquid volume is formed between these steles and additional holding surfaces for can form the second volume of fluid to the fluid chamber.
  • the feed opening 5 is formed via an opening 54 in the cover sheet 11.
  • the opening 54 can also be generated in this case via a syringe tip in the task of the second fluid volume 42 into the fluid chamber 2.
  • Adhesive structures 7 in the form of a plurality of short steles 71 are arranged in the base plate 10 in the region of the holding position 6 for the second liquid volume 42.
  • the feed opening 5 is formed via an opening 54 in the cover sheet 11.
  • a holding structure 7 in the form of a recess 72 in the region of the holding position 6 for the second liquid volume 42 is attached.
  • an oligonucleotide mixture 142 previously embedded in this microfluidic structure 102 according to the invention via an addition opening is combined with the amplified sample solution.
  • a further process step is at a second, located on the inlet channel 103 opening 112 to the environment, which also with a hydrophobic or non-wettable, semipermeable membrane is closed, over an operator device an overprint abandoned.
  • the entire solution present in the microfluidic structure 102 is thus separated from a supernatant outside that in the microfluidic structure 102.
  • the amplified sample solution is combined via two further microfluidic structures 161, 171 according to the invention for combining two liquid volumes with the required dilution buffer solutions 162, 172 and via an outlet opening 180 from the lab-on-a-chip 100 in a detection device (not shown) on.
