Advanced Microfluidic Pumping at Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-Modified Electrodes via AC-Magnetohydrodynamics

摘要

A paradigm shift in microfluidic pumping using redox-magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) that preserves its advantages and resolves problems that previously slowed its application in analytical chemistry (for pumping small volumes and sustaining fluid flow) is demonstrated herein. Miniaturization of chemical analysis for lab-on-a-chip (LOAC) devices offers portability and automation with less power, reagent and waste volumes, and analysis time. A crucial feature is the programmable manipulation of fluid within the device. MHD microfiuidics
