Abstract
Devices, systems and methods for filling and processing microfluidic devices are disclosed. A device of the system comprising a priming block is disclosed, that functions to drive fluid into a plurality of separation networks in a microfluidic device, using air pressure or electromotive force. The priming block may be incorporated into a microfluidic device preparation system additionally comprising a platform for positionally holding the microfluidic device and a sample array and fluid dispensing modules that are movable in any direction relative to the platform of the microfluidic device. The preparation system may be further incorporated into a greater system that performs processing functions either preceding or following the preparation system, including sample array preparation, and processing and analysis of the samples contained in the prepared microfluidic devices. Methods for operation of the various components of the disclosed systems are also provided.
