Abstract :

Through decades of developing micropumps in the MEMS field, a new micropump design should not only focus on performance and function, but should also target the ability to be integrated into BioMEMS system chips for the achievement of versatile applications. For this reason, a new micropump design, possessing the potential to integrate with various developed microdevices, has considerable value. This study proposes a new electrolysis micropump, featuring low power consumption and heat pipe-like back and forth actuation. It is believed that such design would have large potential to integrate with varied microfluidic devices. It is also believed that the combination of our micropump and an embedded microfluidic array probe matches the future trend of BioMEMS development, and provides a high quality tool for further study of medical tests involving biological samples.
