A microfluidic device that comprises several microchannel structures in
which there are an inlet port, an outlet port and therebetween a
substructure comprising a fluidic function. The device has an axis of
symmetry around which the microchannel structures are arranged as two or
more concentric annular zones. for an inlet port and an outlet port of
the same microchannel structure the inlet port is typically closer to the
axis of symmetry than the outlet port. Each microchannel structure
comprises a substructure that can retain liquid while the disc is spun
around the axis and/or the inlet ports are positioned separate from the
paths waste liquid leaving open waste outlet ports will follow across the
surface of the disc when it is spun. For the microchannel structures of
an annular zones the corresponding substructures are at essentially at
the same radial distance while corresponding substructures in
microchannel structures of different annular zones are at different
radial distances. The invention also refers to several other
substructures. The substructure are primarily adapted for transporting
liquid aliquots that have a surface tnsion >5 mN/m with centrifugal
force.
