MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE COMPRISING A MAGNETIC MEMBRANE FOR OSCILLATING UNDER THE ACTION OF A MAGNETIC FIELD

摘要

The invention relates to a microfluidic device comprising at least one magnetic membrane (7) consisting of an organic matrix in which magnetic particles are dispersed. Said microfluidic device (1) also comprises means for generating a magnetic field for periodically deforming said magnetic membrane (7). The means for generating a magnetic field preferably consist of a coil (8) fed by an alternating current voltage or a pulsating D.C. voltage. The magnetic membrane (7) has a first end that is fixed to a wall of the microfluidic device (1) and a free second end that is immersed in at least one fluid (3).
