Patent number: 11891650Abstract: Provided herein is a fluidic cartridge having a body comprising a malleable material and a layer comprising a deformable material bonded to a surface of the body that seals one or more fluidic channels that communicate with one or more valve bodies formed in a surface of the body. The valve can be closed by applying pressure to the deformable material sufficient to crush and close off a fluidic channel in the body. Also provided are a cartridge interface configured to engage the cartridge. Also provided is a system including a cartridge interface and methods of using the cartridge and system.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: INTEGENX, INC.Inventors: David Eberhart, William D. Nielsen, Helen Franklin, Stevan B. Jovanovich, Dennis Lehto, Kaiwan Chear, James Klevenberg, Chungsoo Charles Park, Corey M. Smith, Philip Justus Wunderle, David King
