A fluidic valve 90 for a sample separation apparatus (10) for separating a fluid, wherein the fluidic valve 90 comprises a stack of connected layer structures 200, a first conduit 202 within the stack, a second conduit 204 within the stack, a movable body 206 within the stack, and an actuator 208 configured for actuating the movable body 206 to selectively bring the movable body 206 into a flow enabling configuration in which flow of fluid between the first conduit 202 and the second conduit 204 is enabled, or into a flow disabling configuration in which flow of fluid between the first conduit 202 and the second conduit 204 is disabled. Also claimed is a method of manufacturing fluidic valve 90. Also claimed is a planar member comprising a stack of metallic layer structures connected to one another and at least one non-metallic functional component integrated with the stack. |
