Abstract
A continuous form microstructure array device is constructed as a flexible elongate film laminate containing a plurality of microstructures or arrays of microstructures arranged serially lengthwise along the laminate. The laminate can be continuously drawn from a supply roll or stack, advanced within an analytic device and, when analysis is complete, taken up in a storage roll or stack. The device provides for high throughput microfluidic processing.
