Abstract
This article introduces a software toolchain for physical design and layout for the flow layer of microfluidic LoCs based on integrated microvalve technology. A case study shows that it can automatically produce layouts for the Mars Organic Analyzer LoC to detect biomolecules in soil on Mars.
