1. A microfluidic system, comprising:

  • a base unit comprising a first adapter interface array;

    a first adapter plate selected from a set of a plurality of different adapter plates, wherein the first adapter plate comprises;

    a base unit interface array that is complementary to the first adapter interface array; and

    a first substrate interface array; and

    wherein the first adapter plate is removably coupled to the base unit whereby energy passes from the base unit to the adapter plate through the first adapter and base unit interface arrays; and

    a first microfluidic substrate selected from a set of a plurality of different microfluidic substrates, the first microfluidic substrate comprising a plurality of mesoscale channels disposed therein;

    a second adapter interface array, wherein the second adapter interface array is complementary to the first substrate interface array; and

    wherein the first microfluidic substrate is mounted against the first adapter plate, and coupled to the adapter plate such that energy passes from the adapter plate to the microfluidic substrate through the second adapter and first substrate interface arrays.
