Abstract
This review gives an overview of passive constant flow regulators dedicated to microfluidic applications. Without external control and energy consumption, these devices deliver a constant flow rate regardless of pressure variations, making them very attractive for various microfluidic applications, including drug delivery, flow chemistry, point-of-care tests, or microdialysis. This technical review examines progress over the last three decades in the development of these flow regulators and focuses on the working principle, fabrication methods, performance, and potential applications.
