Abstract

"SISTEMA MICROFLUIDO COM COMPENSAçãO PARA POLARIZAçãO ELETROFORéTICA, ELETROPIPETADOR, PROCESSOS PARA INTRODUZIR MATERIAIS A PARTIR DE UMA SéRIE DE FONTES EM UM SISTEMA MICROFLUIDO, PARA DISTRIBUIR DE MANEIRA CONTROLáVEL UMA CORRENTE DE FLUIDO E PARA TRANSPORTAR AMOSTRAS DE FLUIDO, SISTEMA DE AMOSTRAGEM, EMPREGO DE UM SUBSTRATO, EMPREGO DE UM SISTEMA MICROFLUIDO, E, SUBSTRATO". Um canal (140) é dividido em partes (142, 144). As paredes laterais de cada parte de canal (142, 144) têm cargas de superfície de polaridade oposta. As duas partes de canal (142, 144) são fisicamente ligadas entre si por uma ponte de sal (133), como uma frita de vidro ou camada de gel. A ponte de sal (133) separa os fluidos no canal (140) de um reservatório de fluido iónico (135). De modo a se imprimirem forças eletroosmóticas e forças eletroforéticas ao longo do canal (140) entre partes A e B, respectivamente. Além disto, um terceiro eletrodo (137) é colocado no reservatório (135).
