Investigation of active interface control of pressure driven two-fluid flow in microchannels

We report a novel concept to control the interface location of a pressure-driven multi-phase flow in a microchannel by using electroosmotic flow effects. This concept has potential applications in flow switching and cell sorting in bio-analytical systems. In an H-shaped microchannel structure, aqueo...
