  • Self-loading microfluidic device and methods of use
    Patent number: 9687845
    Abstract: Microfluidic devices and methods for conducting chemical assays and biological assays using microfluidic devices are disclosed. The microfluidic devices do not require external connections, tethers, tubing, valves and actuators. The microfluidic devices are useful in methods for analyzing a wide variety of chemical and biological assays such as, for example, molecule-molecule interactions, enzyme-substrate interactions, molecule identification, minimum inhibitory concentrations, therapeutically effective amounts, and toxic amounts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 4, 2015
    Date of Patent: June 27, 2017
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Douglas Weibel, Nathaniel James Cira
