Device for parallel and synchronous injection for sequential injection of different reagents
First Claim
1. A microfluidic device for parallel and synchronized injecting of series of mobile reaction chambers (102, 103) with non-miscible segmenters (101) in micro-channels (21 to 26), comprising:
- injecting means (10) for injecting liquid alternately and in parallel into the micro-channels for forming mobile reaction chambers and liquid for forming the segmenters;
first controlling means for controlling the progression of one of the two liquids in the micro-channels, disposed so as to act on a zone (31) of each micro-channel delimiting an injection volume of said liquid in each micro-channel, the first controlling means being able to cause, when activated, the stopping or slowing of the progression of said liquid over said zone of each micro-channel by effecting an action based on a physico-chemical property of said liquid, said action not directly affecting the other liquid.

Abstract
The invention relates to a microfluidic device for injecting series of mobile reaction chambers (102, 103) having non-miscible segmenters (101) in microchannels (21 to 26), comprising:
injection means (10) for injecting into microreaction channels alternatingly and in parallel liquid to form mobile reaction chambers and liquid for forming the segmenters;
means for controlling the progression of one of the two liquids, applied to act on one zone (31) of each microchannel delimiting an injection volume of said liquid; the control means being able to cause stopping or slowing of the progression of said liquid over the zone of each microchannel by exerting an action based on a physico-chemical property of the liquid and said action not affecting the other liquid.
