A Microfluidic Dynamic Vapor Control System

Technology Application

This device is useful for small volume assays such as protein crystallization.

Detailed Technology Description

University researchers have developed a small, integrated system to dynamically change the chemistry of a small drop by controlling the vapor. This system uses microfluidic vapor lines and on-board vapor reservoirs that can be actuated to produce vapor on demand. It also identifies storing the reagents or materials needed to generate the vapor on the same device for a convenient, disposable cartridge.
