摘要
This paper presents a new concept of designing microfluidic devices. By using printed circuit board (PCB) as the substrate material, miniature valveless pumps have been successfully developed. The pump can be operated as a single diffuser/nozzle pump or a peristaltic pump, and can delivery a maximum flow rate of 3 ml/min. The detailed design, fabrication, and characterization of the pumps are described in the paper. The PCB technique presents a low-cost and flexible alternative for small-scale production of microfludic devices. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. Ail rights reserved.
