The microfluidic device has a first reservoir that preferably includes a first liquid. The first liquid is being held by a capillary stop valve in the first reservoir. A second reservoir is in fluid communication with the first reservoir. The second reservoir has a second liquid and a sample support disposed therein. The second reservoir has an inlet opening defined therein. A draining unit is adjacent to the second reservoir. The draining unit is in fluid communication with the second reservoir. The draining unit has a first absorption member disposed therein.

Autonomous microfluidic device for sample preparation

The method is for preparing a sample in a microfluidic device. A microfluidic device is provided that has a first reservoir in fluid communication with a second reservoir in fluid communication with and adjacent to a draining unit that has a first absorbing member disposed therein. The first reservoir contains a first liquid that is held in the first reservoir by a capillary stop valve connecting the first and second reservoirs. The second reservoir has a sample support disposed therein. A second liquid, containing substances, is added to the second reservoir. The second liquid contacts the first liquid and the first absorbing member. The first absorbing member absorbs the second liquid and the first liquid. The substances adhere to the sample support.
