MUMBAI, India, July 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202527095806 A) filed by Vital Biosciences Inc. on October 06, 2025, for Microfluidic Sample Handling.

Inventors include Borisenko, Vitali; and Pieros, Laura.

The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.

Abstract: Structures, devices and methods for handling fluids are provided. A valve includes a first channel having a first inlet connected to an upstream chamber. The first inlet of the first channel has a cross-section perpendicular to a flow direction that is the same as or smaller than the upstream chamber and thus forms a hydrophobic junction with the upstream chamber at the first inlet. The valve also includes a compartment connected to a first outlet of the first channel. The compartment has a cross-section perpendicular to the flow direction that is larger than the first outlet of the first channel, and thus forms a hydrophilic junction at the first outlet of the first channel.
