Methods and apparatus for implementing microfluidic analysis devices are provided. A monolithic elastomer membrane associated with an integrated pneumatic manifold allows the placement and actuation of dense arrays of a variety of fluid control structures, such as structures for isolating routing, merging, splitting, and storing volumes of fluid. The fluid control structures can be used to implement a pathogen detection and analysis system including integrated immunoaffinity capture and analysis such as polymerase , chain reaction (PCR) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) analysis. An analyte solution can be input into the device and pumped through a series of immunoaffinity capture …

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 29, 2003. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended December 29, 2023.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
