Abstract

Browser-based geometric closure calculator that converts a measured membrane deflection coefficient (kappa) into the membrane width and spherical valve-seat geometry needed to close a microfluidic membrane valve. The model is purely geometric and independent of fabrication route; it was developed and demonstrated for monolithically 3D-printed valves.
