A passive pumping method for microfluidic devices.
The surface energy present in a small drop of liquid is used to pump the liquid through a microchannel. The flow rate is determined by the volume of the drop present on the pumping port of the microchannel. A flow rate of 1.25 microL s(-1) is demonstrated using 0.5 microL drops of water. Two other fluid manipulations are demonstrated using the passive pumping method: pumping liquid to a higher ...
متن کاملShape optimization of peristaltic pumping
Transport is a fundamental aspect of biology and peristaltic pumping is a fundamental mechanism to accomplish this; it is also important to many industrial processes. We present a variational method for optimizing the wave shape of a peristaltic pump. Specifically, we optimize the wave profile of a two dimensional channel containing a Navier–Stokes fluid with no assumption on the wave profile o...
متن کاملPeristaltic pumping and irreversibility of a Stokesian viscoelastic fluid
Peristaltic pumping by wavelike contractions is a fundamental biomechanical mechanism for fluid and material transport and is used in the esophagus, intestine, oviduct, and ureter. While peristaltic pumping of a Newtonian fluid is well understood, in many important settings, as in the fluid dynamics of reproduction, the fluids have non-Newtonian responses. Here, we present a numerical method fo...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Solution Isolated Pumping (μsip)
A user-friendly, self-contained microfluidic pump is reported which utilizes the high air permeability of PDMS to actuate fluid flow. By diffusion barrier, the solution is isolated from the pump, which provides an innovative solution to create a bubble-free pumping without auxiliary equipment or pre-treatment. This method allows filling dead-end channels and chambers. We implemented this system...
