High-pressure on-chip mechanical valves for thermoplastic microfluidic devices.
A facile method enabling the integration of elastomeric valves into rigid thermoplastic microfluidic chips is described. The valves employ discrete plugs of elastomeric polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) integrated into the thermoplastic substrate and actuated using a threaded stainless steel needle. The fabrication process takes advantage of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a sacrificial molding materi...
متن کاملFlow control valves for analytical microfluidic chips without mechanical parts based on thermally responsive monolithic polymers.
Monolithic plugs of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) cross-linked with 5% methylenebisacrylamide have been prepared by photoinitiated polymerization within the channel of a microfluidic device. The volume change associated with the polymer phase transition at its lower critical solution temperature of 32 degrees C allows both the rapid swelling and the deswelling of the monoliths enabling the polyme...
متن کاملNonlinear pressure-flow relationships for passive microfluidic valves.
An analytical solution is presented for the nonlinear pressure-flow relationship of deformable passive valves, which are formed by bonding a deformable film over etched channels separated by a weir. A fluidic pathway connecting the channels is opened when the upstream pressure creates a tunnel along a predefined narrow strip where the film is not bonded to the weir. When the width of the strip ...
متن کاملIntegrated Microfluidic Membrane Transistor Utilizing Chemical Information for On-Chip Flow Control
Microfluidics is a great enabling technology for biology, biotechnology, chemistry and general life sciences. Despite many promising predictions of its progress, microfluidics has not reached its full potential yet. To unleash this potential, we propose the use of intrinsically active hydrogels, which work as sensors and actuators at the same time, in microfluidic channel networks. These materi...
متن کاملOn-chip CO2 control for microfluidic cell culture.
Carbon dioxide partial pressure (P(CO(2))) was controlled on-chip by flowing pre-equilibrated aqueous solutions through control channels across the device. Elevated P(CO(2)) (e.g. 0.05 atm) was modulated in neighboring stagnant channels via equilibration through the highly gas permeable substrate, poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). Stable gradients in P(CO(2)) were demonstrated with a pair of contr...
