INDUCED-CHARGE ELECTRO-OSMOTIC MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES

摘要

This invention provides devices and apparatuses comprising the same, for efficient mixing of relatively small volumes of fluid and materials suspended thereby. Such devices utilize nonlinear electrokinetics as a primary mechanism for driving fluid flow, and such flow is modulated to promote chaotic mixing. Methods of cellular analysis and high-throughput, multi-step product formation using devices of this invention are described.
