  • Paper-based microfluidic systems
    Patent number: 8921118
    Abstract: Paper-based microfluidic systems and methods of making the same are described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 27, 2009
    Date of Patent: December 30, 2014
    Assignee: President and Fellows of Harvard College

  • Three-dimensional microfluidic devices
    Patent number: 8628729
    Abstract: Three-dimensional microfluidic devices including by a plurality of patterned porous, hydrophilic layers and a fluid-impermeable layer disposed between every two adjacent patterned porous, hydrophilic layers are described. Each patterned porous, hydrophilic layer has a fluid-impermeable barrier which substantially permeates the thickness of the porous, hydrophilic layer and defines boundaries of one or more hydrophilic regions within the patterned porous, hydrophilic layer. The fluid-impermeable layer has openings which are aligned with at least part of the hydrophilic region within at least one adjacent patterned porous, hydrophilic layer. Microfluidic assay device, microfluidic mixer, microfluidic flow control device are also described.
