Patent ID: 8127794

Claim:
A dispenser arrangement for fluidic dispensing control into a microfluidic component comprising: an enclosed fluid holding area; and a valve adapted to be movable between an open position and a closed position and positioned at least partially in the fluid holding area, said valve comprising: an elongated hollow portion having a body and two ends adapted for fluid flow from the fluid holding area to the microfluidic component in the open position; wherein a first end of the hollow portion is sealed such that it prevents fluid from entering the first end and wherein the first end is positioned within the fluid holding area; a first opening on the body of the hollow portion positioned within the fluid holding area allowing fluid communication from the fluid holding area to the microfluidic component in the open position; and a slant second opening at a second end of the hollow portion positioned outside of the fluid holding area wherein the slant second opening is adapted to pierce through a sealing layer covering the microfluidic component in the open position and to insert into a first substrate housing the microfluidic component in the closed position.
