A Novel Pneumatic Valve Serves as the Foundation for an Aliquoting Framework for Centrifugal Microfluidics

Abstract

Mack Brook*

New avenues for low-cost point-of-care (POC) diagnostics have emerged thanks to centrifugal microfluidic platforms (CDs). They are now widely used in a variety of diagnostic procedures, including blood plasma separation, serial dilutions, and those requiring polymerase chain reaction steps. The use of CD microfluidic devices makes it possible to transfer a wide range of intricate processes that, in the past, required trained personnel and expensive individual laboratory equipment to the small disc platform. The CD fluidic platforms' portability, ease of use, integration, and robustness necessitate fluid flow control designs that are straightforward, dependable, and scalable.
