Abstract
A microfluidic flow cell subassembly, which may be assembled into a flow cell having fluidic connections outside of the main substrate, is described for encapsulating a sample to allow for subsequent controlled delivery of reagents to the sample, such as multiplexed in situ biomarker staining and analysis. As configured, the subassembly comprises a substrate layer forms a flexible optically transparent lid which is capable of bending in either direction to alter the internal dimensions of the subassembly. Methods of use are also disclosed.
