An integrated AC electrokinetic pump in a microfluidic loop for fast and tunable flow control

Studer, Vincent, Pépin, Anne, Chen, Yong, Ajdari, Armand·2004·The Analyst

Abstract

We have built a dedicated lab on a chip to study the performance of an integrated electrokinetic micropump, driven by a low voltage AC signal. This micropump consists of an array of interdigitated electrodes and is here integrated in a microfluidic loop. We demonstrate that this device can pump continuously and reproducibly electrolyte solutions of low to moderate ionic strength. The pumping speed reaches up to 500 [micro sign]m s(-1) in 20 [micro sign]m deep and 100 [micro sign]m wide channels with a driving signal in the 1-10 kHz range and an amplitude of only a few volts. In addition, we have observed an interesting reversal of the pumping direction at higher frequencies (50-100 kHz). Our device permits a systematic and automated exploration of the influence of the ionic strength thanks to an integrated micromixer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
