Abstract:
1. A fluid delivery and analysis system, comprising: a fluidic cartridge including a first substrate, a second substrate and a flexible intermediate interlayer sealedly interfaced between said first substrate and said second substrate to form therein one or more channels of capillary dimensions within the first substrate and the second substrate on both sides of flexible intermediate interlayer; a fluid reservoir, a pump chamber, a reaction chamber, and a port formed at least partially in said first substrate or said second substrate of said fluidic cartridge, and wherein the one or more channels connect the fluid reservoir to the pump chamber, the pump chamber to the reaction chamber, and the reaction chamber to the port; a fluid flow controlling structure, formed in said fluidic cartridge, restricting a flow of a fluid in only a direction from said fluid reservoir to said reaction chamber via said one or more channels and said pump chamber; and a linear actuator providing a pumping action in said pump chamber to push said fluid to flow from said fluid reservoir to said reaction chamber via said pump chamber and said one ore more channels.
