摘要
We characterize single-layer membrane valves for elastomeric microfluidic devices. The devices are simple to fabricate using standard single-layer softlithography; moreover, they afford continuous control over flow rate. This combines the simplicity of stamped microfluidic devices with the precision control of membrane valves, which we demonstrate by steering objects in the flow using a simple device.
