Quantitative
Leak (Initial)
This qualitative failure is characterized by liquid leaking out of a channel and/or primitive into the space between the PDMS and flow layer. An initial leak occurs almost immediately after a liquid passes the area of the leak. Regardless of scale, these leaks are considered a failure mode.
Leak (Over Time)
This qualitative failure is characterized by liquid leaking out of a channel and/or primitive into the space between the PDMS and flow layer. A leak that occurs over time is not characterized by an initial leak growing over time but as a leak that appears a significant amount of time after liquid has passed the location of a leak. These leaks can be seen in situations where a seal degrades during incubation period, leading to a new leak forming minutes after liquid initially passed through a section. Regardless of scale, these leaks are considered a failure mode.
Air Bubble
This qualitative failure is characterized by an air bubble being present within a channel or primitive. Air bubbles can affect proper liquid flow and can reduce the accuracy of design features such as time-dependent mixers and metering. Regardless of scale, air bubbles are considered a failure mode.
Liquid does not cross an OPEN Valve
This qualitative failure is characterized by liquid not crossing over a valve that has been opened by actuating the corresponding syringe on the control layer. This failure can exist in many forms, such as liquid pausing after filling the first portion of the valve and never crossing into the second section or leakage around the first portion of a valve. This failure is often accompanied by leakage due to pressure buildup.
Liquid crosses a CLOSED Valve
This qualitative failure is characterized by a liquid crossing over a valve that is closed, meaning that it’s corresponding control syringe has not been actuated. This failure can exist in many forms, such as liquid leaking over a valve that has never been opened before or leaking over a valve that was previously opened by is not closed. This failure can lead to contamination of liquids as well as inaccuracies with features such as metering.
Mixer does not mix liquids sufficiently
This qualitative failure is characterized by the final output of a mixer not being sufficiently mixed. This failure can be dependent on the chip being tested, as certain procedures will have varying levels of tolerance regarding mixture homogeneity. In general, liquids exiting a mixer should be relatively homogenous; a quantitative calculation of mixing can be performed to calculate how homogeneous the final mixture is.
