Abstract
A microfluidic valve device includes a microfluidic chip including a substrate having a channel, a valve disposed within the channel and configured to change a conductance of the channel, with the valve having an inner channel formed therein, and an oscillator configured to generate a traveling wave. The valve is moved by generating the traveling wave to open and close the channel.
