Abstract

A feasible scheme for positioning of cells in a patch clamp biochip for high throughput drug screening comprises the application of suction by means of on-chip micro-pumps. A practical realization of such micro-pumps is based on Electro-Osmotic Flow (EOF). The principle of operation, and the design considerations for such pumps is described. Specific EOF pump geometries are demonstrated.
