摘要: Abstract A novel magnetically actuated valving system was designed, fabricated, and tested. It is very suitable for use in centrifugal microfluidic platforms. The fluidic structure of the valve fabricated by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) replica molding process sandwiched between two permanent magnets. working principle based on deformation PDMS micro-channel under magnetic force. flyball governor integrated platform to control distance magnets during operation. When stationary or spins at low speed, facing produce enough force overcome elastic covering membrane. membrane can therefore completely block flow channel. spinning speed increases a critical value, helps pull bottom-side magnet away, which reduces consequently opens channel valve. Therefore, controlled manipulating governor. Its burst frequency be easily tuned various load settings. actuation four valves Lab-on-CD characterized with respect mass flyball, intensity field preload supporting spring. experimental results show that ranges from 800 rpm 1600 rpm cross-section 100 μm wide × 200 μm high. This new design offers several advantages including simple fabrication, multiple use, robust control, universal application easy integration. also attains flexibility switch open state closed operation, making it capable complex fluid handling. used systems biological, chemical medical applications.
