Microfluidic pumps are capable of achieving
single digit pL per minute flow rate.
MOTIVATION
The manipulation of fluid in channels with
dimensions of tens of micrometers-microfluidic
pumping-has emerged as a distinct new field.
Microfluidics has a potential to influence subject
areas from chemical synthesis and biological
analysis to optics and information technology. But
the field is still at an early stage of development.
To achieve these manipulations, the use of pump is
earnestly needed in order to achieve miniaturization.
Why microfluidic pumps?
Mechanical pumps are not the best solution to
overcome the viscous resistance of fluid flow in
micro channels.
Large external pumps defies miniaturization
To allow implantation
DEFINATIONS
Microfluidics
Microfluidics deals with the behavior, precise
control and manipulation of fluids that are
geometrically constrained to a small volume
typically microlitre,nanolitre picolitreor femtolitre.
Microfluidic is a science that deals with the flow of
fluid in a channel of micrometer size.
What are microfluidic pumps?
Microfluidic pumps are devices that are used to
pump or mix fluid in channels of micrometer size
in a microfluidic system.
