SBIR Phase I: Themally-Actuated Microfluidic Systems

这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段研究项目旨在开发热致动微流体平台，包括peltier致动微阀。这将通过控制完全包含在一个模块中的流体来实现，该模块由供应商的相变屏障与驱动元件隔开。一种廉价的、独立的、便携式的微流控设备的可用性，包含了分子诊断和蛋白质组学等应用所需的所有试剂和功能，对医生和科学家来说将具有重要的价值。

This Small Business Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I research project aims to develop a thermallyactuated microfluidics platform, including Peltier-actuated microvalves. This will be achieved by controlling fluids entirely contained in a module separated from the actuation elements by provider phase changeable barriers. The availability of an inexpensive, self-contained and portable microfluidic device that contains all the reagents and functions needed for applications such as molecular diagnostics and proteomics will be of significant value to physicians and scientists.
