  • MICROFLUIDIC SYSTEM BASED ON ACTUATOR ELEMENTS
    Publication number: 20100212762
    Abstract: The present invention provides a microfluidic system comprising a plurality of ciliary actuator elements (10) located at an inner surface (14) of a wall (15) of a microchannel (16) of the microfluidic system at a first location. The microfluidic system furthermore comprises a magnetic field generator formed by at least one current wire (17) integrated in the wall (15) of the micro channel (16) at a second location substantially opposite to the first location with respect to a centre line of the microchannel (16). The present invention also provides a method for the manufacturing of such microfluidic systems and to a method for controlling a fluid flow through a microchannel (16) of such a microfluidic system.
