Electrokinetic flow : characterization, control and application in microfluidic systems

Advanced microfluidic devices can perform complete biochemical analysis in a single fabricated chip. One of the crucial issues in developing these microfluidic devices is to transport reagents and electrolytes to specified destinations without external intervention. The electrokinetic (EK) pumping c...
