A microfluidic package (10) is disclosed. The package has a pair of matching casing members (12, 14) at least one of which includes a featured interior surface (16) facing an opposing interior surface (18) of the other casing member (12), the interior surfaces (16, 18) being arranged to channel a fluid. There are alignment means (26) connected to one of the casing members (14) and being configured to align the opposing interior surfaces (12, 14) of the casing members (12, 14). L'invention concerne un boîtier microfluidique (10), comprenant une paire d'éléments d'enrobage correspondants (12, 14) dont un au moins présente une surface intérieure profilée (16) placée en regard d'une surface intérieure opposée (18) de l'autre élément d'enrobage (12), les surfaces intérieures (16, 18) étant conçues pour acheminer un fluide. Des moyens d'alignement (26) accouplés à l'un (14) des éléments d'enrobage sont configurés pour aligner les surfaces intérieures (16, 18) opposées des éléments d'enrobage (12, 14).
