Microfluidic System for Purposes of Analysis and Diagnosis and Corresponding Method for Producing a Microfluidic System
First Claim
1. A microfluidic system for use in analysis and diagnosis, comprising:
- at least one substrate in the form of a contact redistribution layer which comprises at least one opening configured for fluid to be conducted through;
at least a first conducting-through layer which comprises at least one channel for fluid to be conducted through; and
at least a first chip layer which comprises at least one active element, the at least one active element being in operative connection with the at least one channel, and the first chip layer being arranged between the first conducting-through layer and the at least one substrate,wherein the first chip layer comprises at least one passage which fluidically connects the at least one opening of the substrate to the channel of the conducting-through layer.

Abstract
A microfluidic system for purposes of analysis and diagnosis is made up of layers arranged substantially one above the other. The microfluidic system includes at least a first and a second conducting-through layer, which respectively comprise at least one channel for a fluid to be conducted through in the respective conducting-through layer. The microfluidic system further includes at least one chip layer, which comprises at least one active, micromechanical element, the active, micromechanical element being in operative connection with at least one of the channels, and the chip layer being arranged between the first and the second conducting-through layer, and the channels being fluidically connected to one another. A corresponding production method is disclosed in addition to the microfluid system.

9. A method for producing a microfluidic system, comprising:
-
i) creating at least one opening and/or channel for fluids to be conducted through in a substrate in the form of a contact redistribution layer, ii) creating at least one channel for fluids to be conducted through in at least one chip layer, the chip layer comprising at least one active element, iii) fixing the chip layer on the substrate in such a way that the openings and/or channels are fluidically connected to the at least one channel of the chip layer, iv) fixing a first conducting-through layer on the chip layer, and v) creating at least one channel in the first conducting-through layer in such a way that the channel of the chip layer fluidically connects the channel of the conducting-through layer. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 15)
