PASSIVE MEMBRANE MICROVALVES

摘要

An exemplary device for microfluidic transport includes a valve membrane sheet (400), an inlet channel (140) and an outlet channel (150). The valve membrane sheet confines transport of fluid from the inlet channel to the outlet channel where fluid may be purged and provides means for preventing and decreasing the incidence of purged fluid re-entering the inlet channel. Disclosed features and specifications may be variously controlled, adapted or otherwise optionally modified to improve micropump operation in any microfluidic application.
