Polymer-based platform for microfluidic systems

Patent Benett, William ; Krulevitch, Peter ; Maghribi, Mariam ; Hamilton, Julie ; Rose, Klint ; Wang, Amy W

A method of forming a polymer-based microfluidic system platform using network building blocks selected from a set of interconnectable network building blocks, such as wire, pins, blocks, and interconnects. The selected building blocks are interconnectably assembled and fixedly positioned in precise positions in a mold cavity of a mold frame to construct a three-dimensional model construction of a microfluidic flow path network preferably having meso-scale dimensions. A hardenable liquid, such as poly (dimethylsiloxane) is then introduced into the mold cavity and hardened to form a platform structure as well as to mold the microfluidic flow path network having channels, reservoirsmore »« less

Microfluidic structures and methods for integrating a functional component into a microfluidic device

Patent Simmons, Blake ; Domeier, Linda ; Woo, Noble ; Shepodd, Timothy ; Renzi, Ronald F

Injection molding is used to form microfluidic devices with integrated functional components. One or more functional components are placed in a mold cavity which is then closed. Molten thermoplastic resin is injected into the mold and then cooled, thereby forming a solid substrate including the functional component(s). The solid substrate including the functional component(s) is then bonded to a second substrate which may include microchannels or other features.

Modular radiochemistry synthesis system

Patent Satyamurthy, Nagichettiar ; Barrio, Jorge R ; Amarasekera, Bernard ; Van Dam, R. Michael ; Olma, Sebastian ; Williams, Dirk ; Eddings, Mark A ; Shen, Clifton Kwang-Fu

A modular chemical production system includes multiple modules for performing a chemical reaction, particularly of radiochemical compounds, from a remote location. One embodiment comprises a reaction vessel including a moveable heat source with the position thereof relative to the reaction vessel being controllable from a remote position. Alternatively the heat source may be fixed in location and the reaction vial is moveable into and out of the heat source. The reaction vessel has one or more sealing plugs, the positioning of which in relationship to the reaction vessel is controllable from a remote position. Also the one or more reactionmore »« less
