Microfluidic Valves

Microfluidic valves are miniature valves specifically designed for controlling and manipulating small volumes of fluids at the microscale level. These valves play a crucial role in microfluidic systems, used in various fields such as biomedical research, pharmaceuticals, chemical analysis, and diagnostics. Microfluidic valves enable precise and automated fluid flow control, allowing for the accurate routing, mixing, and metering of fluids on a micro scale. They are typically made from materials compatible with biological samples and can be actuated using pneumatic, mechanical, or electrostatic methods. These valves offer high accuracy, low dead volume, and fast response times, making them ideal for applications requiring precise fluid handling at small scales.
