Imagine a complete chemical laboratory incorporated on a microchip, performing one year manual work in the matter of hours. We are now seeing the beginning of this revolution in drug discovery, chemical and biological sciences.
Imagine small and cheap lab-on-chips available for consumer markets and industries. These can monitor water, food quality and industrial processes, as well as giving an early warning on planned biological, chemical or explosive warfare or terrorist attacks.
Imagine consumer electronics being powered by micro fuel cells, lasting for weeks and being refueled in seconds.
Imagine these being only a few examples of how microfluidics is going to change our lives.
Named one of ten technologies to change the world [1], microfluidics is still in its infancy, but showing exponential growth. Microfluidics (MF) is indeed one of the most interesting parts of MEMS [2] and NEMS [3] technologies, already constituting a multi billion dollar market.
Osmotex has developed a unique electrokinetic micropump (or generally, a microactuator technology) which
* Is extremely small, thousands of individually addressable actuators can be integrated on a microchip.
* Contains no moving parts.
* Can be produced cheaply by standard microfabrication.
* Runs typically on 1 - 20 Volts (compare 100s to several 1000s Volts for competing technologies).
* Can pump, mix or valve a wide range of liquids without affecting their properties.
* Is stable and reliable, having a long service time.
