Abstract:
1. A test module assembly, comprising: a dielectric plate member having an upper planar surface and a lower planar surface that is spaced apart from and parallel with the upper planar surface, the dielectric plate member having at least one set of channels that includes an injection channel and a separation channel, the injection channel having an end at the upper planar surface and another end at the lower planar surface, each end of the injection channel configured to allow fluid to penetrate the respective planar surface, the separation channel extending within the dielectric plate member in a plane parallel with the upper and lower planar surfaces and intersecting the injection channel, the separation channel having ends, each end not coincidental with an intersection between the injection channel and the separation channel; and a housing that attaches to the dielectric plate member, the housing providing (i) a first opening over the upper planar surface such that a first end of the injection channel is accessible through the first opening, and (ii) a second opening over the lower planar surface such that a second end of the injection channel is accessible through the second opening.
