uFluidix - Micro-Reactor Device

Also, know as microfluidic chamber or flowcell, these are microfluidic devices that have a cavity-type feature somewhere along the channel. These microdevices are used when a liquid needs to undergo chemical, physical, or biological reactions. Often heat, UV light or time is needed to activate and do the reaction. Examples are microfluidic devices used in point of care devices where a patient sample such as serum enters the microfluidic chamber, and need to react with reagents such as antibodies, or enzymes. PCR on a chip is the most famous example of such microfluidic devices. There are many types of micro-reactors.
