A Compact Hydraulic Head Auto-Regulating Module (CHARM) for Long-Term Constant Gravity-Driven Flow Microfluidics

Gravity-driven flow is a simple microfluidic flow initiation and maintenance mechanism that requires no external power sources and low expertise to use. However, the driving forces created by hydraulic head differences gradually decrease during operation, resulting in unwanted decreased flow rates i...
