Abstract
A microfluidic system comprising: at least one microfluidic channel, the inner surface of which is fluorinated or fluorous; and a pump for supplying a flow of an aqueous medium containing chemical reagents or assay components to said microfluidic channel. Preferably, the apparatus further comprises a supply of a non-aqueous medium which is compatible with the surface of the microfluidic channel but immiscible with the aqueous medium, such as a perfluorocarbon solvent, for forming a sheath around the flowing aqueous medium whereby the aqueous medium is suspended away from the surface of the microfluidic channel. Also provided are methods for carrying out a chemical reaction or a biological assay in the microfluidic systems of the subject matter disclosed herein.
