| abstract |
A micro channel device includes at least one sample processing region (108) that supports a sample for processing by a sample processing apparatus, at least one chamber (120, 126) that stores a fluid, at least one channel (202, 204, 206, 302, 402), and an interface (116) configured to interface with the processing apparatus. Moisture removed from compressed air, which is employed to move the sample and/or a processing agent through the at least one channel, is received by the interface and routed via the at least one channel to the at least one chamber. |
