A microvalve assembly that can help protect a microvalve or an assembly of microvalves from the environment. Such a microvalve assembly may be mechanically assembled, without the use of adhesives and/or other materials that might out-gas and/or otherwise reduce the performance of the electrostatically actuated devices contained therein. In particular, a microvalve assembly can include a base fixture, a clamp fixture that is configured to be attached to the base fixture, and an electrostatically actuated microvalve that is disposed between the base fixture and the clamp fixture. The clamp fixture may be mechanically secured to the base fixture.
