Thermally-actuated, phase change flow control for microfluidic systems.
An easy to implement, thermally-actuated, noninvasive method for flow control in microfluidic devices is described. This technique takes advantage of the phase change of the working liquid itself-the freezing and melting of a portion of a liquid slug-to noninvasively close and open flow passages (referred to as a phase change valve). The valve was designed for use in a miniature diagnostic syst...
متن کاملDesign of a Thermally-Actuated Gas Lift Safety Valve
Gas-lifted oil wells are susceptible to failure through malfunction of gas lift valve assemblies (GLV). One failure mode occurs when the GLV check valve fails and product passes into the well annulus, potentially reaching the wellhead. This is a growing concern as offshore wells are drilled thousands of meters below the ocean floor in extreme temperature and pressure conditions, and repair and ...
متن کاملA centrifugal microfluidic platform for point-of-care diagnostic applications
Microfluidic systems enable precise control over tiny volumes of fluid in a compact and low-cost form, thus providing the ideal platform on which to develop point-of-care diagnostic solutions. Centrifugal microfluidic systems, also referred to as lab-on-a-disc or lab-on-a-CD systems, provide a particularly attractive solution for the implementation of microfluidic point-of-care diagnostic solut...
متن کاملThermally Actuated Low Impedance MEMS Resonators for Mass Sensing Applications
This paper presents high-Q thermally actuated micromechanical resonators suitable for sensory applications under atmospheric pressure. Single crystal silicon resonators with resonance frequencies in the 250 KHz to 1.5MHz range were fabricated using a single-mask fabrication process on SOI substrates. The resonators were operated in a one-port configuration in their in-plane resonance mode with ...
متن کاملElectromagnetically-Actuated Reciprocating Pump for High-Flow-Rate Microfluidic Applications
This study presents an electromagnetically-actuated reciprocating pump for high-flow-rate microfluidic applications. The pump comprises four major components, namely a lower glass plate containing a copper microcoil, a middle PMMA plate incorporating a PDMS diaphragm with a surface-mounted magnet, upper PMMA channel plates, and a ball-type check valve located at the channel inlet. When an AC cu...
