Patent

CA 2516365

A container is provided for shipping and storing a pre-wetted and pre- conditioned microfluidic ~sipper~ chip. The container contains both dry components and wet compartments. A base contains a fluid-filled reservoir configured to house the capillaries. The opening of the reservoir is sealed with an O-ring. The plastic mount of the chip rests on the base in a dry compartment. The upper surface of the chip contains several wells containing fluid. A gasket is provided with plugs configured to be disposed within and seal the wells. Alternatively, the wells are first sealed with a foil film adhered to the well openings with an adhesive and a gasket is disposed between the foil and a cover, which is removably attached to the base. When the cover is closed, the gasket and O-ring seal the wet compartments to prevent leakage and to slow evaporation.

L'invention concerne un contenant servant à expédier et à stocker une puce à capillaires microfluidique préhumectée et préconditionnée. Le contenant contient à la fois des compartiments secs et des compartiments humides. Une base contient un réservoir rempli de fluide servant à loger les capillaires. L'ouverture du réservoir est scellée à l'aide d'un joint torique. Le support plastique de la puce repose sur la base dans un compartiment sec. La surface supérieure de la puce présente plusieurs puits contenant un fluide. Un joint comprend des bouchons conçus pour être placés à l'intérieur des puits et pour les fermer hermétiquement. Selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, les puits sont d'abord fermés hermétiquement par un film d'opercule collé aux ouvertures des puits à l'aide d'un adhésif et un joint est placé entre l'opercule et un couvercle relié de manière détachable à la base. Lorsque le couvercle est fermé, le joint et le joint torique ferment hermétiquement les compartiments humides pour empêcher les fuites et ralentir l'évaporation.
