Controlling Capillary-Driven Fluid Transport in Paper-Based Microfluidic Devices Using a Movable Valve [PDF]
Analytical Chemistry, 2017 This paper describes a novel strategy for fabricating the movable valve on paper-based microfluidic devices to manipulate capillary-driven fluids. The movable valve fabrication is first realized using hollow rivets as the holding center to control the paper channel in different layer movement that results in the channel's connection or disconnection ...

A thermoresponsive valve to control fluid flow in microfluidic paper-based devices
Microfluidics and Nanofluidics, 2022 AbstractMicrofluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) have recently attracted the attention of researchers and industry owing to their various advantages. However, µPADs lack a way to control fluid flow; therefore, it is difficult to perform complex immunoassays that use multiple reagents and replace the reagents from the analytical area.
