Abstract

A microfluidic system for purposes of analysis and diagnosis is made up of layers arranged substantially one above the other. The microfluidic system includes at least a first and a second conducting-through layer, which respectively comprise at least one channel for a fluid to be conducted through in the respective conducting-through layer. The microfluidic system further includes at least one chip layer, which comprises at least one active, micromechanical element, the active, micromechanical element being in operative connection with at least one of the channels, and the chip layer being arranged between the first and the second conducting-through layer, and the channels being fluidically connected to one another. A corresponding production method is disclosed in addition to the microfluid system.
