This paper reports a selective wireless active valve mechanism for a centrifugal microfluidic disc operated using field frequency modulation techniques. The device utilizes a planar inductor-capacitor resonant circuit as a heater to heat up the wax-based valve in a microfluidic disc. Selective radio...
