Microvalves and Micropumps for BioMEMS
نویسندگان
چکیده
This review presents an extensive overview of a large number of microvalve and micropump designs with great variability in performance and operation. The performance of a given design varies greatly depending on the particular assembly procedure and there is no standardized performance test against which all microvalves and micropumps can be compared. We present the designs with a historical perspective and provide insight into their advantages and limitations for biomedical uses.

Micropumps, microvalves, and micromixers within PCR microfluidic chips: Advances and trends.
This review surveys the advances of microvalves, micropumps, and micromixers within PCR microfluidic chips over the past ten years. First, the types of microvalves in PCR chips are discussed, including active and passive microvalves. The active microvalves are subdivided into mechanical (thermopneumatic and shape memory alloy), non-mechanical (hydrogel, sol-gel, paraffin, and ice), and external...
متن کامل3d-printed Microvalves and Micropumps
This paper describes a novel microvalve design that can be fabricated using stereolithography without need for the manual alignment and bonding steps required of PDMS microvalves. Multiple units of these microvalves can be arranged together and operated in tandem to perform fluid routing, switching, and pumping tasks. We demonstrate the performance of a four-valve fluid switch connected to a do...
متن کاملModeling and characterization of a nanoliter drug-delivery MEMS micropump with circular bossed membrane.
A MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) micropump with circular bossed membrane designed for nanoliter drug delivery is characterized in this article. A quasistatic model under consideration of low operating frequency is used to characterize this micropump. The mathematical model is an ordinary differential equation that describes the behavior of the micropump by including its key components ...
متن کاملLow-Cost Microdevices for Point-of-Care Testing
Microdevices enable clinical diagnostics to be miniaturized for use at the point-of-care (POC). Microdevices can be composed of microfilters, microchannels, microarrays, micropumps, microvalves, and microelectronics, and these mechanical and electrical components can be integrated onto chips to analyze and control biological objects at the microscale. The miniaturization of diagnostic tests off...
متن کاملMicropumps operated by swelling and shrinking of temperature-sensitive hydrogels.
This paper describes two types of polymeric micropumps based on the temperature-sensitive hydrogel poly(N-isopropylacrylamide). The gel actuators are realised as photopolymerised patterns and microgels. They are electrothermically controlled by resistive heating elements. The diffusion-based micropump contains a photopatterned monolithic actuator, which is placed within the pump chamber, and pr...
