Cork – Nov 17, 2018 – Radisens is pleased to announce the granting by the US Patent Office of its novel microfluidic valving system published as US 10,130,947.

Entitled “[a] valving system for use in centrifugal microfluidic platforms”, the patent describes a novel method wherein fluid flow on a centrifugal microfluidic cartridge is controlled by an acceleration-primed valve system. This invention has the advantage of minimising real-estate on the cartridge, optimising other microfluidic processes and does not require surface modification.
