Technical Examples
  1. The present invention provides novel methods and devices for testing/verifying the configuration of one or more microfluidic elements in a microfluidic device. In particular the methods and devices of the invention are useful in testing for blockages or the presence of air bubbles in microfluidic elements. For example, a method for verifying the proper function of a microfluidic device is disclosed, which device comprises at least first, second and third fluidic openings, which fluidic openings are fluidly coupled to at least first, second and third microscale channel elements, respectively, the method comprising flowing an electrically conductive buffer through the first, second and third microscale channel elements; setting a known applied voltage potential (or current) between the first and second fluidic openings; setting a current in the third microscale channel element to be approximately zero; detecting a resulting voltage at the third fluidic opening; and, comparing the detected voltage at the third fluidic opening with a calculated target voltage expected at the third fluidic opening to determine whether there is a fault or problem (e.g., air bubble) in at least one of the first and second microscale channel elements. The above method can be repeated one or more times for the other fluidic openings in the microfluidic device to determine whether there is a fault in any one or more microscale elements of the device.
