MULTIVALVE FLUID CARTRIDGE Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC B01L3/00 

FIELD: microfluidic cartridges.

SUBSTANCE: cartridge contains a fluid circuit, a bypass fluid circuit, a first set of fluid wells, a second set of fluid wells, a first valve, and a second valve. The first valve is operatively connected to the first set of fluid wells such that it is configured to selectively fluidly connect any of the wells of the first set of fluid wells to the outlet port of the first valve. The second valve is operatively connected to the fluid circuit, to the bypass fluid circuit, to the outlet port of the first valve, and to the second set of fluid wells, such that it is configured to selectively fluidly connect any of the wells of the second set of fluid wells and the outlet port of the first valve to the fluid circuit or outlet port of the first valve with a bypass fluid circuit.

EFFECT: reduced cycle time for each operation with fluid.
