Abstract: Fluidic devices may include a monolithic gate substrate and a channel substrate coupled to the monolithic gate substrate. The monolithic gate substrate may include a gate chamber and a flexible membrane located adjacent to the gate chamber. The channel substrate may include a source channel and a drain channel that are in fluid communication with the flexible membrane on an opposite side of the flexible membrane from the gate chamber. Various other related devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed microfluidic valves may include a valve body having at least one cavity therein, a gate transmission element separating the cavity into an input gate terminal and an output gate terminal, a gate port configured to convey drive fluid into the input gate terminal, and a fluid channel. The gate transmission element may include a flexible membrane and a plunger coupled to the flexible membrane. The gate transmission element may be configured to move within the cavity to inhibit a subject fluid flow from an inlet port to an outlet port of the fluid channel upon pressurization of the input gate terminal, and to allow subject fluid flow from the inlet port to the outlet port upon depressurization of the input gate terminal. Various other related systems and methods are also disclosed.
