Title:A Diffusor/Nozzle Pump Based on a Magnetically Actuated Flexible PCB DiaphragmAuthor(s):Marcus Hintermüller, Bernhard JakobyAbstract:We present a valveless microfluidic pump utilizing an oscillating membrane made from a flexible printed circuit board. The microfluidic channel is fabricated by a 3D printing process and features diffuser/nozzle structures to obtain a directed flow; the flexible membrane is bonded to the channel. The membrane is actuated via Lorentz forces to accomplish out-of-plane motions and push the fluid through the channel. A permanent magnet provides the static magnetic field required for the actuation. The simple fabrication method can potentially be used for inexpensive mass fabrication for disposable devices.Booktitle:Proceedings Eurosensors 2018Publisher:MDPIPage Reference:page 1077, 4 page(s)Publishing:2018Volume:2Number:13
