Abstract
The invention provides microfluidic chip holders, systems containing them, and methods of microfluidic chip removal therefrom that allow easy, reproducible release and removal of microfluidic chips from the holders. Holders of the invention include latching mechanisms that hold a chip securely in position when locked and eject the chip when unlocked, allowing easier grasping of the chip and reducing the likelihood that the fluidic contents of the chip are disturbed during removal.
