In this paper, a micropump with electromagnetic actuation is presented. The micropump mainly consists of coil actuators and a PDMS micropump layer. The microcoil was fabricated using the printed circuit board (PCB) with the conventional PCB treatment and the PDMS layer was formed by casting technique. A control circuit was designed using microcontroller to produce square waves to control coil actuator. Due to the simple fabrication process, the micropump can be incorporated in a disposable PDMS lab-on-a-chip device as a fluid actuation component. However, the coil actuator is reusable. In addition, the control circuit makes the micropump portable. The experiment results show that this proposed micropump is capable of delivering a flow rate of 470 μL/min using one coil actuator.

In order to improve the robustness of microfluidic networks in printed circuit board (PCB)-based microfluidic platforms, a new method was presented. A pattern in a PCB was formed using hollowed-out technology. Polydimethylsiloxane was partly filled in the hollowed-out fields after mounting an adhesive tape on the bottom of the PCB, and solidified in an oven. Then, microfluidic networks were built using soft lithography technology. Microfluidic transportation and dilution operations were demonstrated using the fabricated microfluidic platform. Results show that this method can embed microfluidic networks into a PCB, and microfluidic operations can be implemented in the microfluidic networks embedded into the PCB.

In this work, an electro-wetting on dielectric device (EWOD) with array style electrodes was fabricated from low price and common electronic materials. With its low cost and uncomplicated fabrication process, it is useful and feasible in teaching and educating young engineers on such droplet movement technique. The array electrodes were made from a common printed circuit board and copper tapes. The applied fabrication technique is mentioned in this paper. The water droplet movement in corresponding to the applied frequencies and voltage is reported.
