SELF-POWERED MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS

摘要

A power source for actuation of a microfluidic device and related devices, methods and systems. The power source comprises: a buffer chamber, a first fluid chamber located in the microfluidic device, with a fluid passage to a second fluid chamber located in the microfluidic device. In the power source, a pin is in contact with the first fluid chamber and is adapted to chemically generate a reaction product from a first fluid in the first fluid chamber to actuate a second fluid in the second fluid chamber.
