Filling and mixing of reagents on the SlipChip was consistent. (a) A schematic drawing of the SlipChip in which the reagent wells were preloaded with buffer and a fluorescent solution, with the same fluorescent solution added into the ducts and sample wells. (b) A schematic drawing of the same device after the slip. (c) A schematic drawing of the device after the top plate was slipped back to separate the sample from the well. (d) Fluorescent microphotograph of a well of 100% Alexa-488. (e) Fluorescent microphotograph of a well of 50% Alexa-488. (f) Concentration of the dye in wells 1–24 had a coefficient of variation of 3.9% (n = 23). Concentration of the dye in the remaining wells (25–48) had a coefficient of variation of 3.2% (n = 22), confirming accuracy and precision of both filling and mixing.
