A microfluidics vapor-membrane-valve generated by laser irradiation on carbon nanocoils
We have investigated a micro vapor membrane valve (MVMV) for closing the microfluidic channels by laser irradiation on carbon nanocoils (CNCs) attached to the inner wall of the microchannels. The microchannel with MVMVs was found to exhibit a “closed” state without the supply of laser energy, which...

description | We have investigated a micro vapor membrane valve (MVMV) for closing the microfluidic channels by laser irradiation on carbon nanocoils (CNCs) attached to the inner wall of the microchannels. The microchannel with MVMVs was found to exhibit a “closed” state without the supply of laser energy, which is explained on the basis of the theory of heat and mass transfer. Multiple MVMVs for sealing the channels can be generated in sequence and exist simultaneously at different irradiation sites, independently. The significant advantages of the MVMV generated by the laser irradiation on CNCs are the elimination of extrinsic energy required to maintain the microfluidic channel “closed” state and the simplification of the structure integrated into the microfluidic channels and fluid control circuitries. The CNC-based MVMV is a powerful tool for the investigations of the functions of microchannel switching and sealing on microfluidic chips in biomedicine, chemical analysis and other fields. The study of MVMVs will have great significance for biochemical and cytological analysis. |
