What are microfluidic valves and how do they work?
There are several types of microfluidic valves used depending on system complexity and control needs:
- Passive valves – Operate without power, using fluid pressure or mechanical design to regulate flow.
- Active valves – Controlled via external signals (pressure, electricity, etc.) for dynamic control.
- Solenoid valves – Electrically actuated for rapid, accurate flow control in automated setups.
- Miniature valves – Ultra-compact designs, ideal for integration into tight microfluidic assemblies.
- Rotary valves – High-precision valves that use mechanical rotation to switch between multiple fluidic pathways, offering low dead volume, reliable automation, and seamless multi-channel integration.
At Advanced Microfluidics (AMF), we have engineered rotary valves specifically for microfluidic systems, offering reliable, programmable, and scalable control across research, diagnostics, and industry.

Key benefits of AMF’s rotary valves
High-precision flow control
In microfluidic systems, accuracy isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. AMF’s rotary valves are engineered with ultra-low internal volume and no dead volume, ensuring minimal sample loss, precise dosing, and clean fluid transitions. This level of precision is critical for experiments involving sensitive reagents, limited-volume samples, or highly controlled reaction conditions.
Our technology supports stable and repeatable flow control even in the most demanding scenarios, including nanoparticle formulation, biosensor testing, or dose-response assays. By eliminating fluid retention and reducing carryover, you gain confidence in your results, and increase the efficiency of your workflow.
Automation ready
Manual sample switching slows down throughput, introduces human error, and makes scalability nearly impossible. AMF rotary valves are designed to fit directly into automated workflows, allowing you to program complex sequences, reagent delivery steps, and cleaning routines with full control and reliability.
Our automation-ready systems are compatible with electric actuation setups, giving you the flexibility to tailor your fluid control to your lab’s infrastructure. Whether you’re running diagnostics in batch, performing screening assays, or managing industrial liquid handling, our valves turn your process into a fully automated, hands-free system.
Multiplexing made easy
Modern microfluidics often requires working with multiple reagents, samples, or conditions simultaneously. AMF rotary valves make this easy with multi-port configurations — from simple 6- or 24-port setups to complex custom builds with 64 channels. This enables seamless switching between fluids without the need to manually disconnect and reconnect tubing or devices.
This multiplexing capability is ideal for high-throughput screening (HTS), synthetic biology workflows, environmental testing, and any application where time, precision, and clean transitions matter. Our valves can handle rapid switching cycles while maintaining stability, allowing you to streamline even the most complex routing systems.
OEM integration
Every system is different, which is why we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. AMF rotary valves are designed for OEM integration, with custom geometries, materials, actuation methods, and interface options tailored to your product’s exact needs. Whether you’re building a benchtop analyzer, or a scalable industrial platform, we work alongside your engineers to ensure a perfect fit.
With robust construction, compact design, and seamless electronics compatibility, our valves are made to handle repeated use in commercial systems. We support you from design to scale-up, helping you create fluidic subsystems that are reliable, reproducible, and ready for production.

Common microfluidic challenges
& how AMF solves them
Implementing reliable fluid control in microfluidic systems isn’t always straightforward. From sample loss and flow instability to limited automation and integration headaches, the challenges are real — and they can slow down your research or production.
At Advanced Microfluidics (AMF), we’ve engineered our rotary valves to solve these issues at the source. Here’s how we help you overcome the most common roadblocks in microfluidic fluid handling:
Pain point 1: Inconsistent fluid flow and poor precision
❌ In many microfluidic setups, maintaining a stable flow rate is difficult due to mechanical limitations or unstable control systems. This leads to inaccurate dosing, cross-contamination, and unreliable experimental results.
✅ AMF solution: Our rotary valves are engineered for repeatable, high-precision flow control, ensuring accuracy and consistency in even the most sensitive fluid handling tasks.
Pain point 2: High internal volume and dead zones
❌ Valves with large internal cavities or poorly designed geometries trap liquid, causing sample loss and increasing the risk of contamination. This is especially problematic when working with rare or expensive reagents.
✅ AMF solution: AMF rotary valves are optimized with ultra-low internal volume and no dead volume, maximizing sample recovery and minimizing waste.
Pain point 3: Manual processes slowing down workflows
❌ Manual switching between samples or reagents is time-consuming, error-prone, and incompatible with high-throughput or automated lab environments.
✅ AMF solution: Our valves are automation-ready, fully programmable, and designed for seamless integration into automated liquid handling systems. Gain speed, repeatability, and reliability.
Pain point 4: Integration problems with complex systems
❌ Standard valves often don’t fit the specific needs of modern microfluidic platforms — whether due to incompatible connections, control protocols, or physical footprint.
✅ AMF solution: AMF offers customizable OEM rotary valve designs that adapt to your system architecture, ensuring smooth integration and long-term scalability.
Pain point 5: Limited channel control or switching options
❌ Many valves support only basic on/off control or single-channel switching, which limits your ability to handle complex assays or multi-reagent workflows.
✅ AMF solution: Our rotary valves support efficient multiplexing, allowing you to switch between multiple channels, reagents, or samples within a single compact module.
Pain point 6: Fragile or unreliable components in demanding environments
❌ Some microfluidic components fail under pressure, wear out quickly, or require constant maintenance, disrupting critical experiments or production runs.
✅ AMF solution: Built for durability and repeatable performance, our rotary valves are designed to handle high pressure, harsh chemicals, and continuous operation without failure.
Pain point 7: Lack of customization and support
❌ Off-the-shelf components may not meet your specific performance or design requirements, and support is often limited or non-technical.
✅ AMF solution: AMF works closely with you to co-develop tailored solutions — from fluidic design to integration support — ensuring that your system performs exactly as needed.
