abstract

  • A reservoir for a silicon-based “lab-on-a-chip” integrated microfluidic system has been designed, fabricated and initially characterized. The reservoirs are necessary for storing reagents, antibodies and buffers required for on-chip capture of target microorganisms in this work -A,side from the matter of storing fluids and providing a pressure head for flow or flow augmentation one has the issue of biochemical compatibility of the contact surface. Where one does not desire a pressure head, a mere bio-chemically compatible “collapsible” bag is desired. All these factors are included in the device. This paper reports design issues, fabrication, packaging and initial characterization of the reservoirs. Scaling possibilities are essentially unlimited, however in this case standard reservoirs have been developed in modules of 1/8 and 1 ml capacity.
