Description

FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of a microfluidic slab according to the design;

FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a top perspective view thereof showing the design in connection with one implementation of the unclaimed subject matter between the pairs of closely adjacent, spaced jagged broken lines of FIGS. 1-3;

FIG. 5 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a top perspective view thereof showing the microfluidic slab with the design in connection with another implementation of the unclaimed subject matter between the pairs of closely adjacent, spaced jagged broken lines of FIGS. 1-3;

FIG. 8 is a top plan view thereof; and,

FIG. 9 is a bottom plan view thereof.

The dashed lines, the areas within them, and the areas bounded by both broken lines and solid lines depict portions of the microfluidic slab that form no part of the claimed design.

The dot-dash broken lines in FIGS. 1-3 depict the symbolic breakaway lines. Those lines and any portion of the article between those lines beyond what is shown in the drawings form no part of the claimed design.

Claims

The ornamental design for a microfluidic slab, as shown and described.
