Abstract
Nuclear track-etched membranes are used as gateable interconnects between vertically separated microfluidic channels to achieve three-dimensional fluidic architectures. Transport through the membranes may be electrically gated to control the transfer of material between channels in an externally controllable fashion. Because unidirectional flow may be gated on or off with the application of the appropriate bias conditions, these structures are likened to electronic diodes.
