English term or phrase: vent
Vents

A hydrophobic vent is a structure that permits gas to exit a channel while limiting (e.g., preventing) liquid from exiting the channel. Typically, hydrophobic vents include a layer of porous hydrophobic material (e.g., a porous filter such as a porous hydrophobic membrane from Osmonics) that defines a wall of the channel. As discussed herein, hydrophobic vents can be used to position a microdroplet of sample at a desired location within a microfluidic network.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Gracias Juan, he dudado mucho de si traducirlo por "válvula", el problema es que en documento también hay "valves" ... ¿qué diferencia entre ellas?
