Common Food-Wrap Film as a Cost-Effective and Readily Available Alternative to Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Membranes for Microfluidic On-Chip Valves and Pumps

Common Food-Wrap Film as a Cost-Effective and Readily Available Alternative to Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Membranes for Microfluidic On-Chip Valves and Pumps

Microfluidic devices rely on precise fluid control to enable complex operations in diagnostics, chemical synthesis, and biological research. Central to this control are microvalves, which regulate on-chip flow but require flexible membranes for active operation. While the laser cutting of thermoplas...
