Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9912016A1] A method and device for tranporting and/or monitoring a fluid in a multi-port device used in a microfluidic system is provided. The multi-port device includes a substrate comprising a defined channel configuration. A first channel region having a first port and a second port for transporting fluid therebetween is defined in the substrate. A second channel region having a first port and a second port for applying an electric current for heating fluid or for monitoring a fluid parameter therebetween is also defined in the substrate. In some embodiments, the first channel intersects with the second channel. The heating or monitoring aspect of the invention can be used with a variety of biological reactions including polymerase chain reaction and ligase chain reaction.
