Advanced Capillary Soft Valves for Flow Control in Self-Driven Microfluidics
Self-driven microfluidic devices enable fully autonomous handling of very small volumes of liquid samples and reagents. However, many applications require an active control mechanism to trigger self-driven flow in microchannels. Here, we report on capillary soft valves (CSVs), which enable stopping a liquid filling front at a precise location inside a microchannel and can resume flow of liquid ...
متن کاملDesign Analyses of Capillary Burst Valves in Centrifugal Microfluidics
(b) Fig. 1. Schematic of gating operation driven by centrifugal force. (a) shows top view of the rotating plate. The reservoir resides at R1 and the abruptly-expanding open is at R2. The reservoir and channel are filled by liquid sample. (b) shows a close-up view of the abruptly-expanding opening. Liquid pressure at the meniscus is Pm.

متن کاملOne-step Immunoassay on Capillary Driven Microfluidics
In this paper we report a novel concept and its implementation for performing a sandwich fluorescence surface immunoassay using only 2 μL of sample, 4 nL of detection antibodies (dAbs), 2 min of assay time and one pipetting step. In particular, we use an inkjet printer to deposit minute quantities of dAbs in microchannels which economizes reagent and enables quick reconstitution of dAbs for fas...
متن کاملBead Traps in Capillary-driven Microfluidics for Fluorescence Immunoassays
Polymeric microspheres represent an important class of components for biological assays because they can be fabricated from many materials, with well-controlled diameters from nanometers to hundreds of micrometers and functionalized with biomolecules. However, the incorporation of such microspheres inside microfluidic chips remains a challenge in particular when reproducibility and mass fabrica...
متن کاملMagnetic timing valves for fluid control in paper-based microfluidics.
Multi-step analytical tests, such as an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), require delivery of multiple fluids into a reaction zone and counting the incubation time at different steps. This paper presents a new type of paper-based magnetic valves that can count the time and turn on or off a fluidic flow accordingly, enabling timed fluid control in paper-based microfluidics. The timing c...
