We survey progress over the past 25 years in the development of microscale devices for
pum** fluids. We attempt to provide both a reference for micropump researchers and a …

One of the most important and promising research areas in biomedical and micropum**
applications is magnetic actuation of ferrofluids with dynamic magnetic fields. For ensuring …

For several decades, there has been a strong research interest in microfluidic systems and
their applications. To bring these systems to market, a high development effort is often …

This thesis presents a MEMS micro-vacuum pump designed for use in a portable gas
analysis system. It is designed to be pneumatically-driven and as such does not have self …

The potential for miniaturization of analytical devices made possible by advances in micro-
fabrication technology is driving demand for reliable micropumps. A wide variety of …

Lorentz force is the pum** basis of many electromagnetic micropumps used in lab-on-a-
chip. In this paper a novel reciprocating single-chamber micropump is proposed, in which …

Components and systems for the scalable, very large-scale integration (VLSI) of thousands
of microfluidic devices into Micro Total Analysis Systems (OAS) are the focus of much …

Résumé Dans ce mémoire, nous présentons une nouvelle architecture d'une micropompe
pneumatique à valves autoactionnées. Une modélisation par éléments finis de la …

The three-dimensional structure of folded proteins is of enormous interest to the scientific
community. The structure is best determined with x-ray diffraction through a protein crystal …

A conductivity based on-chip flow sensor is introduced to measure the velocity of liquid-gas
interface in microchannels for lab-on-a-chip applications. This sensor is used to evaluate the …
