The flow is bidirectional in the valve. The device can be used as a distributor or as a selector for either multiplexing or demultiplexing purposes.
Any of the peripheral ports (numbered from 1 to 10) can be connected to the central channel, and the fluidic path created is bidirectional. The M-SWITCH™ is actuated by a motor that drives a rotor. It can also be used with a manifold to use a single pressure pump to deliver multiple liquids and simplify setups.
Generating and collecting samples
Different concentrations of the molecule of interest can be injected into a chip generating water-in-oil droplets. The droplets can then be sorted at the outlet of the chip using the M-SWITCH™ microfluidic bidirectional valve according to their analyte concentrations. Each step can be automated using OxyGEN software.

The M-Switch, an automated microfluidic valve
The microfluidic bidirectional valve can be controlled by OxyGEN software for long-term experiments. Create a time-based protocol to set actuation timing.
