Embodiment Construction

[0093] Embodiments herein relate to fluidic mechanisms, systems, methods, and the like. Fluidic mechanisms, systems, methods, etc. can be implemented on large-scale fluidic applications as well as in microfluidic applications (eg, in relation to fluid volumes on the microliter scale). Additionally or alternatively, fluidic mechanisms, systems, methods, etc. may be implemented in applications utilizing volumes of less than a microliter, eg, picoliter volumes.

[0094] Embodiments herein relate to blister-based liquid storage delivery mechanisms and methods for use in combination with digital fluidic cartridges such as droplet actuators. That is, the capsule-based liquid storage delivery mechanism and method can be used to place small volumes of liquid (eg, about 50 μl to about 200 μl) in a digital fluidic cassette. Further, the blister-based liquid storage delivery mechanism and method can be used to store liquid in a frozen and / or non-thawed state for up to about 2 years with...

Abstract

Provided are a liquid storage delivery mechanism and a use method. The mechanism includes a housing including respective reservoirs to hold discrete quantities of liquid. The housing includes a fill end and a discharge end. The fill end includes a fill port that opens to the reservoir to receive a corresponding volume of liquid. The discharge end is covered by a closure cap to seal the bottom of the respective reservoir. A housing management module is provided that includes a cover and a platform. The platform includes housing retention chambers to receive respective housings. The housing holding chambers are arranged in a predetermined pattern on the platform. The housing retaining chamber orients the housing such that the fill port emerges from the platform. A cover is mounted to the platform to close the fill port. The housing independently moves along the housing retaining chamber between a non-actuated position and an actuated position.
