摘要 |
The present invention is drawn to a method for modulating fluid flow in a micro-fluidic channel, comprising the step of applying heat to a valve of a micro-fluidic channeling device. The valve can include an elastically resilient portion having a first configuration prior to application of heat and a second configuration after application of heat. In one aspect, the first configuration provides an open valve configuration and the second configuration provides a closed valve configuration. In another aspect, the first configuration provides a closed valve configuration and the second configuration provides an open valve configuration.
