Classification of Microvalves ---- A Review

Subhadeep Mukhopadhyay ✉

Abstract

Miniaturization of microvalves is required in many microfluidic applications towards the commercial standards. As examples, the applications of microvalves are flow regulation and on/off switching. Microvalves are primarily divided into active microvalves and passive microvalves according to their working principles. These microvalves may be involved with mechanical systems, non-mechanical systems and external systems. This educational short review is authored as the study material for proposed elective-course on Microfluidics (M.Tech, Theory) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Arunachal Pradesh, India
