A thermopneumatic microfluidic system

Abstract

A self-contained planar microfluidic system using thermopneumatic actuation has been demonstrated. Using a novel suspended silicon island heater fabricated by deep reactive ion etching (DRIE), and a precision machined acrylic fluidic substrate with a matching silicone rubber membrane, a self-contained system of channels, valves, and a pump has been demonstrated using air as a working fluid.
