In this work, we demonstrate that positive net flow can be induced and controlled with relatively low potential due to the parallel alignment of the integrated channel electrodes. Therefore, we present a novel method to exquisitely control Electro Osmotic Flow (EOF) by using integrated electrodes fabricated beneath a meandering channel geometry (Figure 1). Equation 1 describes EOF velocity for AC-driven flow, where εo and εr respectively are the permittivity of vacuum and that of water, ζ the zeta potential at the solid liquid interface, η the viscosity, Ex the electric field:
