Disclosed is a minifluidic device including a matrix, an elongated guiding duct embedded at least in part in the matrix, with at least one port to the outside of the matrix, a movable fiber at least partly contained in the guiding duct, and able to undergo within the guiding duct, and at least along some part of the fiber, at least one action selected among a sliding, or a deformation, or a rotation and at least one of the movable fiber or the guiding duct is elastic or is non linear along at least part of its length, or at least part of the matrix is elastic.

Fluidic devices with at least one actionnable fiber

The invention relates to a method for detecting organisms in a liquid sample, comprising the provision of a capture area including particles in a liquid medium and subjected to a hydrodynamic flow, wherein the organisms to be detected are capable of binding to these particles, the method comprising the steps of: The invention also relates to a system for implementing this method.

Method for detecting organisms in a diluted sample

Disclosed is a fluidic device including at least: a) a solid matrix; b) a textile component, embedded in the matrix and mechanically cohesive with the matrix; c) at least one channel embedded in the matrix and entangled with the textile component, the channel being at least partly open. A method for making a fluidic device includes providing a textile component including support fibers and at least a movable fiber entangled with the textile, embedding at least part of the textile and part of the movable fiber, in a matrix precursor material, applying a treatment in order to obtain a solid matrix.

Composite woven fluidic device

The present invention concerns a microfluidic system comprising: a microchannel containing several elements of two non-miscible fluids, the microchannel comprising a droplet () containing magnetic particles (M), and a device for generating inside the microchannel magnetic field, said device comprising an activable magnetic element, the activable magnetic element comprising a tip (), the microfluidic system being configured to transport the droplet by flow or by pressure difference.

Microfluidic system

The present invention concerns a method of detecting macroions in a liquid medium contained in a space, the method including: a) submitting the liquid medium to a stimulating electrical field to induce formation of aggregates of macroions, the formed aggregates of macroions preferably not including any additional labeling agent, and b) measuring, in a detection zone of the space, spatial and/or temporal fluctuations within the liquid medium of at least one variable depending on the concentration of the macroions in the liquid medium, and c) determining, based on these fluctuations, the presence of the macroions, step c) preferably including processing by a time-dependent or space dependent analysis, more preferably by wavelet analysis, or by autocorrelation the fluctuations measured at step b).
