Abstract
A microfluidic diagnostic device may comprise a fluid inlet to receive a fluid from a fluidic slot, a main microfluidic channel fluidly coupled to the fluid inlet, and a main microfluidic pump interposed between the fluid inlet and the main microfluidic channel to continuously circulate a fluid through the fluidic slot, fluid inlet, and main microfluidic channel wherein the width of the fluid inlet is different from the width of the main microfluidic channel. A diagnostic device, comprising a fluidic slot, a fluid inlet fluidly coupled to the fluidic slot, a main channel fluidly coupled to the fluid inlet, and an inlet pump interposed between the fluid inlet and channel wherein the cross-sectional area of the fluid inlet is relatively larger at least one point than the cross-sectional area of the channel.
