An assembly for handling a fluid, comprising a valve and a controller. The valve has at least one revolving valve element and a coupling device. The coupling device comprises at least one port coupled to a flow path and is adapted for interacting with said at least one revolving valve element in order to control a fluid flow through said at least one port using a relative valve position between the revolving valve element and the coupling device. The controller is adapted for controlling the relative valve position based on at least one of a current and a previous measurement of an amount of the fluid flow dependent on the relative valve position.

Fluid handling assembly with valve position control based on fluid amount measurement

A component part of a microfluidic valve adapted to be coupled with a microfluidic device, the microfluidic device having at least one port coupled to a flow path of the microfluidic device, the component part comprising a first revolving valve element having a first interface with the microfluidic device and a second revolving valve element having a second interface with the microfluidic device and being located within a through hole of the first revolving valve element.
