Precise flow-control using photo-actuated hydrogel valves and PID-Controlled LED actuation.
In: 3rd Conference On Microfluidic Handling Systems (MFHS), 4-6 Oct 2017, Enschede, Netherlands.
Abstract
Herein we demonstrate remarkable control of flow within fluidic channels using photo-actuated hydrogel valves. By polymerizing the valves in situ it has been possible to create highly- reproducible valves. Through the use of an LED platform and a PID algorithm we have generated extremely accurate flow control and created prototype devices to document their potential application within the microfluidics field.
