Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to fluidic systems and devices for processing, extracting, or purifying one or more analytes. These systems and devices can be used for processing samples and extracting nucleic acids, for example by isotachophoresis. In particular, the systems and related methods can allow for extraction of nucleic acids, including non-crosslinked nucleic acids, from samples such as tissue or cells. The systems and devices can also be used for multiplex parallel sample processing.

Claim (Index 18):
A microfluidic system comprising:\n (a) a first isotachophoresis region in a microfluidic chip comprising:\n i. a first fluidic channel, \n ii. a first sample reservoir, \n iii. a first buffer reservoir, and \n iv. a second buffer reservoir, \n wherein said first fluidic channel, said first sample reservoir, said first buffer reservoir, and said second buffer reservoir are in liquid communication with each other; and (b) a second isotachophoresis region in said microfluidic chip comprising:\n i. a second fluidic channel, \n ii. a second sample reservoir, \n iii. a third buffer reservoir, and \n iv. a fourth buffer reservoir, \n wherein said second fluidic channel, said second sample reservoir, said third buffer reservoir, and said fourth buffer reservoir are in liquid communication with each other, wherein said first isotachophoresis region is not in liquid communication with said second isotachophoresis region, and wherein said microfluidic system is configured to independently control a first electric circuit that applies current to said first isotachophoresis region and a second electric circuit that applies current to said second isotachophoresis region.
