Benefits of technology

[0088]The easily usable, mass-producible, and inexpensive microfluidic multichip assembly accepts a biochemical sample, uses a dialysis chip for separating the cells of different dimensions, and separately processes the nucleic acid content of the cells separated based on their dimensions. The dialysis chip functionality extract additional information from the sample and increases the sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio, and dynamic range of the assay system.
[0089]The microfluidic multichip assembly provides for higher modularity. Surface-micromachined chips in the assembly would each be much small

Problems solved by technology

Insufficient stringency can result in a high degree of nonspecific binding.
Excessive stringency can lead to a failure of appropriate binding, which results in diminished sensitivity.
Despite the advantages that molecular diagnostic tests offer, the growth of this type of testi

Overview

[0208]This overview identifies the main components of a molecular diagnostic system that incorporates embodiments of the present invention. Comprehensive details of the system architecture and operation are set out later in the specification.

[0209]Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 85 and 86, the system has the following top level components:

[0210]Test modules 10 and 11 are the size of a typical USB memory key and very cheap to produce. Test modules 10 and 11 each contain a microfluidic device, typically in the form of a lab-on-a-chip (LOC) device 30 preloaded with reagents and typically more than 1000 probes for the molecular diagnostic assay (see FIGS. 1 and 85). Test module 10 schematically shown in FIG. 1 uses a fluorescence-based detection technique to identify target molecules, while test module 11 in FIG. 85 uses an electrochemiluminescence-based detection technique. The LOC device 30 has an integrated photosensor 44 for fluorescence or electrochemiluminescence detection (de...

Abstract

A dialysis device for dialysis of a fluid containing constituents of different sizes, the dialysis device having a first layer of material defining a first channel and a second channel, the first channel configured for receiving the fluid which contains constituents of different sizes, a second layer having a plurality of apertures open to the first channel and at least one fluid connection leading from the apertures to the second channel for establishing fluid communication between the first channel and the second channel, wherein, the apertures are sized in accordance with a predetermined size threshold such that the constituents flowing to the second channel are smaller constituents that are smaller than the predetermined size threshold, and the constituents retained in the first channel include larger constituents which are larger than the predetermined size threshold.
