In this study, a manual micro-valve system (dimension: w x h: 1000 x 50 mu m with 8-integrated channel valves was designed for controlling up to 8 different flows of agents (including magnetic nanoparticle flow) injected into the mixture zone of the microfluidics. The working parts of the micro-valve and microfluidic channel were fabricated from Poly(dimethyl siloxane) materials. The aperture of each channel valve was manually manipulated by a screw and a support kit (made of Plexiglas (R) materials). This valve system was connected to a microfluidic device with two important modules: a multi-liquid mixing component and a micro-reactor (5 mu L of volume). The study on controlling liquid flows proved that this valve system was effective for the experiments on the flow mixing and delivering the reactants into the micro-reaction chamber in order. The results are the first step for the fabrication of liquid flow controllers in integrated microfluidic systems towards biological analysis applications.
