Microfluidic Purge Valve
Summary
Purdue University researchers have developed a novel purge valve that can be used for fluid alignment in a microfluidic chip. This valve can automatically align fluids without sensing feedback, giving it an advantage over valves currently on the market. It is less expensive to manufacture and simpler to operate than competing designs that also do not require feedback sensing.
Technology Benefits
Integrates with existing microfluidic chips Low cost of fabrications Does not require feedback sensing Simple operation
Technology Application
