Small pumps and valves enable flow management in microfluidic systems. A novel passive ferrofluid check valve is presented. The valve consists of only a unique channel-and-chamber geometry, ferrofluid, and a stationary magnetic field. The flow is determined only by the inlet and output pressure, and the magnetic field is completely static. The prototype valve and experimental setup are explained and performance of the valves cracking and collapse pressure reported. This initial design can be used for microfluid handling and lab-on-a-chip applications.
