Micropumps and microvalves are essential components of modern medical microfluidic systems for novel treatments of diseases, restoration of lost body functions, and increased patient comfort. To date, microfluidic device technology lacks safe, reliable, and efficient pumps and valves that readily fulfill biocompatibility, system hermeticity, and economic requirements. To address this demand, this work develops a versatile metal-based microfluidic platform of pumps and valves for medical applications.
