Abstract

A microfluidic system for preparing a sample containing an analyte of interest is provided. The microfluidic system includes a microfluidic cartridge and a magnetic element. The microfluidic cartridge includes a number of reservoirs, an immobilizer, a number of microfluidic flow channels and a number of microvalves. The microfluidic channels are coupled with the reservoirs and the immobilizer. The microvalves are positioned along the microfluidic flow channels. The magnetic element is positioned with respect to the immobilizer. The magnetic element is configured to generate a magnetic field to magnetically immobilize the analyte of interest in the immobilizer. The immobilizer is configured to flow one or more reagents therethrough to react with the analyte of interest.

Description

[0001] Statement Regarding Federally Funded Research and Development [0002] This invention was made with Government support under Contract No. N00173-08-2-C003 awarded by the Naval Research Laboratory. The Government has certain rights in this invention. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to microfluidic systems, cartridges and methods, and more particularly to microfluidic systems, cartridges and methods for automatically preparing samples. Background technique [0004] It is often required to prepare a sample containing the analyte of interest prior to loading into the analytical instrument for analysis. For example, flow cytometers are powerful analytical instruments for the analysis of individual cells or particles for a wide range of applications spanning from cellular analysis to molecular and genomic analysis. Application-specific sample preparation procedures are required to prepare cells or microparticles prior to load...
