Patent ID: 8865090

Claim:
A support unit for a microfluidic system, comprising: a first support; a first adhesive layer provided on a surface of the first support; and at least two hollow filaments disposed on a surface of the first adhesive layer and functioning as a flow channel layer of the microfluidic system, a second support and, a second adhesive layer provided on a surface of the second support, wherein the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer are stuck together with the at least two hollow filaments being therebetween, wherein the at least two hollow filaments are fixed on the first support, and at least one of the at least two hollow filament intersects, contacts and crosses over at least one of the other at least two hollow filaments, wherein fluids flowing through the at least two hollow filaments do not come into contact at the intersection of the intersecting hollow filaments, wherein the at least two hollow filaments comprise hollow filaments that have a beginning end which is exposed and extends from the first su ort and that have an ending end which is exposed and extends from the first support, and wherein a length of the beginning end and a length of the ending end are each shorter than a length of an unexposed portion of the at least two hollow filaments.
