Thermoplastics such as cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) have been increasingly used in fabricating microfluidic devices. However, the state-of-the-art microvalve ...

Bio-Rad Laboratories. has been granted a patent for a microfluidic valve assembly designed to control liquid flow in microfluidic channels. The invention includes a unique configuration of substrates ...

Abstract: Sophisticated microfluidic systems were realized using simple valves based on switching from a hydrophobic state to a hydrophilic state. The valve consisted of a hydrophobic self-assembled ...

acoustic valve is suitable for microfluidic experiments in biochemical fields. Compared with other sorting methods, such as dielectric force and magnetic force, acoustic valve does not need high ...

Emerson provides sample versions of ASCO microfluidic valves, which are available within two days of request. The samples will be hand delivered by Emerson experts who will work with the designer to ...

Another innovation -- miniature valves -- has been added to the collection of inexpensive, easy-to-manufacture and highly efficient microfluidic devices made from plastic films and double-sided tape.
