Chemofluidic Oscillators: Autonomous Chemical Oscillator Circuit Based on Bidirectional Chemical‐Microfluidic Coupling (Adv. Mater. Technol. 1/2016)

In article 1600005, Andreas Richter and co-workers present a chemofluidic oscillator circuit that employs a hydrogel-based valve, with the valves state dependent on the chemical composition of the liquid. Operating with constant fluidic sources the circuit generates oscillations of flow rates, pressures and chemical concentrations with excellent potential for the development of labs-on-chips with enhanced functionality and scalability.
