Medical microvalve M-SWITCH™

The M-SWITCH™ is a microfluidic bidirectional valve with 11-port/10-position for injection or selection of up to 10 different fluids or chips. The flow is bidirectional in the valve. The device can be used as a selector or as a distributor for either multiplexing or demultiplexing purposes. Automation Valve actuation timing Compact Uses minimum bench space Quick Actuation & Response time Accurate Low internal volume 11-port/10-position Any of the peripheral ports (numbered from 1 to 10) can be connected to the central channel, and the fluidic path created is bidirectional. The M-SWITCH™ is actuated by a motor that drives a rotor. It can also be used with a manifold to use a single pressure pump to deliver multiple liquids and simplify set-ups. Sample generation & collection Different concentrations of the molecule of interest can be injected into a chip generating water in oil droplets. The droplets can then be sorted at the outlet of the chip using the M-SWITCH™ microfluidic bidirectional valve depending on their analyte concentrations. Each step can be automated using OxyGEN software. 11-port/10-position Any of the peripheral ports (numbered from 1 to 10) can be connected to the central channel, and the fluidic path created is bidirectional. The M-SWITCH™ is actuated by a motor that drives a rotor. It can also be used with a manifold to use a single pressure pump to deliver multiple liquids and simplify set-ups. Automation The microfluidic bidirectional valve can be controlled by OxyGEN software for long-term experiments. Users can create a time-based protocol to set actuation timing of the valve(s).
