Microfluidic and Capillary Electrophoresis Applications

Wax-ink valves can be printed onto paper membranes allowing the controlled stop and start of fluid flow. Each valve can perform multiple actuation steps ( e.g. open–close–open) enabling increased complexity of fluidic operations on paper platforms.
