A METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TIMING OF EVENTS IN A MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE AND A TIMER MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE

The method comprises adding a liquid on a first end of a microfluidic device at a first time t0, the liquid flowing by capillarity towards a second end; producing, by a battery (12) included in the microfluidic device, energy from a second time tstartuntil a third time tendto feed an auxiliary devic...

Zusammenfassung:The method comprises adding a liquid on a first end of a microfluidic device at a first time t0, the liquid flowing by capillarity towards a second end; producing, by a battery (12) included in the microfluidic device, energy from a second time tstartuntil a third time tendto feed an auxiliary device (16) connected to the battery (12), said tstartcorresponding to the moment when the liquid contacts the battery (12); using a delivery energy time interval toperationof the battery (12) comprised between a time tonin which a voltage output of the battery (12) is above a threshold and a time toffin which the voltage output is below the threshold to control the duration of an event including a selective activation and deactivation of said auxiliary device (16), wherein the battery (12) being sized and composed to provide a given amount of energy.
