Microfluidic valve and system therefor |
| abstract |
A valve (105) controls fluid flow in a microfluidic system (100). The valve (105) has an input port adapted to receive fluid exerting a predetermined level of pressure on the valve (105) and an output port. The valve (105) has a variable sized aperture disposed perpendicular to the flow of the fluid (119). The aperture varies in size between a relatively small aperture (137) and a relatively large aperture (151). The small aperture (137) prevents the flow of the fluid (119) through the valve (105) responsive to a relatively high level of capillary forces between the fluid (119) and the valve (105) in the small aperture (137). The large aperture (151) permits the flow of the fluid (119) through the valve (105) responsive to a relatively low level of capillary forces between the fluid (119) and the valve (105) in the large aperture (151). |
