  • Apparatus and methods for microfluidic applications
    Patent number: 8790595
    Abstract: Non-rigid tape apparatus and fabrication methods for microfluidic processing applications such as gel electrophoresis are provided, where microfluidic processing is performed on selected areas. Parts of the tape are formed by high pressure plastic film forming. Membranes and other structures are self sealing during and after penetration by pipettes and electrical probes. Rigid exoskeleton elements protect the non-rigid parts during processing and facilitate transport of the tape.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 7, 2012
    Date of Patent: July 29, 2014
    Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Stuart Polwart, Joel Fearnley, Douglas Roy, Peter Ghazal
