Abstract
To monitor functions in a micro-fluidic system having mutually similar parallel fluid paths, sensors () are assigned to the individual fluid paths () at the same respective locations, in order to measure a physical parameter that is influenced by the fluid stream in the fluid paths (). The sensors () are connected to an evaluation device (), which diagnoses a change in the operating state of the micro-fluidic system based on the differences in the parameters measured by the sensors ().
