Stopping, opening, and redirecting fluid flow in paper-based microfluidic devices using thermo-responsive gelatin valves

The advancement of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) toward complex biochemical assays is hindered by the lack of reliable, low-cost fluid-control strategies capable of providing defined sealing and actuation times. The environmental sensitivity of passive barriers depends on their material compositio...
