Abstract
We will report our recent efforts in developing reconfigurable modular fluidic systems consisting of task-specific modules integrated to a fluidic motherboard with the modules and motherboard made from thermoplastics via injection molding. Unique to our modular approach is that passive elements are used to simplify and make assembly repeatable, such as gasket-less interconnects and passive alignment structures. The modules can be used as standalone units as well. In the system we describe, both micro- and nanofluidic modules are used that can enrich nanoparticles (i.e., exosomes or viruses) from clinical samples and analyze their RNA cargo for disease diagnostics.
