  • Reconfigurable microfluidic systems: homogeneous assays
    Patent number: 9956558
    Abstract: Reconfigurable microfluidic systems are based on networks of microfluidic cavities connected by hydrophobic microfluidic channels. Each cavity is classified as either a reservoir or a node, and includes a pressure port via which gas pressure may be applied. Sequences of gas pressures, applied to reservoirs and nodes according to a fluid transfer rule, enable fluid to be moved from any reservoir to any other reservoir in a system. Such systems are suitable for automated, multi-input, multi-output homogeneous assays.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 24, 2015
    Date of Patent: May 1, 2018
    Assignee: HJ Science & Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Hong Jiao, Erik C. Jensen, Homayun Mehrabani, Liran Yosef Haller

  • Reconfigurable microfluidic systems: scalable, multiplexed immunoassays
    Patent number: 9733239
    Abstract: Reconfigurable microfluidic systems are based on networks of microfluidic cavities connected by hydrophobic microfluidic channels. Each cavity is classified as either a reservoir or a node, and includes a pressure port via which gas pressure may be applied. Sequences of gas pressures, applied to reservoirs and nodes according to a fluid transfer rule, enable fluid to be moved from any reservoir to any other reservoir in a system. Systems may be configured with multiple switched interaction regions connected in series for scalable, multiplexed immunoassays. Multiple, switched interaction regions may also be implemented with microvalves.
