  • FLUID CONTROL IN MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES
    Publication number: 20250025876
    Abstract: A diagnostic system for determining the presence of a target in a sample liquid that includes a diagnostic reader and a microfluidic strip having a microfluidic channel network therein. An actuator within the reader modifies the pressure of a gas in gaseous communication with a liquid-gas interface of a sample liquid within the microfluidic channel network to move and/or mix the sample liquid. The pressure modifications may be continuous and/or oscillatory.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 6, 2024
    Publication date: January 23, 2025
    Inventors: Aman Murtaza Khan, Badr Aman Khan, Brian McGuigan, David William Taylor, David Kinniburgh Lang, John Iain William Deane, Lois Bello Fernandez De Sanmamed, Michael Flett, Phill Lowe, Steven Alexander Keatch, Usman Ali Khan, David Scott, Thomas J.
