Voltage/current testing equipment for microfluidic devices

摘要: The present invention provides novel methods and devices for testing/verifying the configuration of one or more microfluidic elements in a device. In particular are useful testing blockages presence air bubbles elements. For example, method verifying proper function device is disclosed, which comprises at least first, second third fluidic openings, openings fluidly coupled to microscale channel elements, respectively, comprising flowing an electrically conductive buffer through elements; setting known applied voltage potential (or current) between first openings; current element be approximately zero; detecting resulting opening; and, comparing detected opening with calculated target expected determine whether there fault problem (e.g., bubble) above can repeated times other any
