МИКРОФЛЮИДАЛЬНЫЕ СИСТЕМЫ НА ОСНОВЕ ИСПОЛНИТЕЛЬНЫХ ЭЛЕМЕНТОВ

摘要

The present invention provides micro-fluidic systems, a method for the manufacturing of such a micro-fluidic system and a method for controlling or manipulating a fluid flow through micro-channels of a such a micro-fluidic system. Herefore, an inner side of a wall of a microchannel is provided with actuator elements which can change shape and orientation as a response to an external stimulus. Through this change of shape and orientation the flow of a fluid through a microchannel may be controlled and manipulated.
