Self-powered Infusion Micropump Fabrication using Xurography and Thermal Lamination Techniques

Point of care testing (POCT) as part diseases and health monitoring will be very beneficial in resource constrained areas with minimum healthcare expert power requirement. Elimination external source device brought the idea self-powered infusion micropump. This research aimed to fabricate investigate pumping capability non-mechanical micropump under effect different porous materials. The self-power was successfully fabricated Xurography thermal-lamination techniques. average percentage difference between measured dimensions actual design 2.30 %. Sandwich layers configuration which consisted PVC sheet laminating plastic pouch proven have a leak-proof Micropump’s flow rate 0.89, 3.62, 0.84 ?L/min were obtained material ashless grade Whatman filter paper number W40, W41 W42 respectively. These values influenced by filtration speed per specifications.
