We survey progress over the past 25 years in the development of microscale devices for
pumping fluids. We attempt to provide both a reference for micropump researchers and a …

This review gives a brief overview of microvalves, and focuses on the actuation mechanisms
and their applications. One of the stumbling blocks for successful miniaturization and …

This paper briefly overviews progress on the development of MEMS-based micropumps and
their applications in drug delivery and other biomedical applications such as micrototal …

The area of micro total analysis systems (μTAS), also called “lab on a chip” or miniaturized
analysis systems, is growing rapidly. This paper represents an update of the earlier reviews …

A fully integrated biochip device that consists of microfluidic mixers, valves, pumps,
channels, chambers, heaters, and DNA microarray sensors was developed to perform DNA …

Micro Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) based microfluidic devices have gained
popularity in biomedicine field over the last few years. In this paper, a comprehensive …

Micropumps are microfluidic components that are widely used in applications such as
chemical analysis, biological sensing, and microrobots. However, one obstacle in …

A microfluidic mixer with a gas bubble filter activated by a thermal bubble actuated nozzle-
diffuser micropump is successfully demonstrated. The oscillatory flow generated by the …

The classical heterogeneous nucleation theory explains that the groove in the substrate is a
desirable place to breed a bubble nucleus. However, the existing research method cannot …

Micro-dosing/drug delivery control system is a bio-chip in practice. It is mostly developed by
Micro-electro-mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology. In micro-dosing or drug delivery …
