A microchip gated valve is demonstrated that uses a single voltage source and three fluid reservoirs. The fluidic valve is a cross intersection, and the channels are dimensioned to perform the appropriate voltage division, simplifying the voltage control hardware. A single voltage source is applied directly to the sample reservoir and through a high-voltage relay to the buffer reservoir, and the waste reservoir is grounded. The volume of sample dispensed is determined by the duration that the high-voltage relay is open. Volumetric reproducibility is demonstrated to be
