Abstract
In this paper, utility and applications of high pressure microvalves are discussed. In addition, a design of a new high pressure microfluidic valve is presented. Simulation results have proven the valve useful for driving pressures up to 10 atm. Here, a way of building such valve is described, along with the whole fabrication process needed to realize it.
