چکیده
We report the design, fabrication, and testing results of a micro magnetic stir-bar monolithically integrated in Parylene surface-micromachined channels with small tip-tochannel clearance. We demonstrated two applications of such stir bars: mixing and pumping.

Micro magnetic stir-bar mixer integrated with parylene microfluidic channels.
Previously, we reported a micro magnetic stir-bar mixer driven by an external rotating magnetic field and its rapid mixing performance in polydimethyl-siloxane (PDMS) channels. The PDMS piece with embedded fluid channels were manually aligned to a glass substrate and assembled. In this paper, we report the fabrication and testing results of a micro magnetic stir-bar monolithically integrated in...
متن کاملSurface micromachined electrostatically actuated micro peristaltic pump.
An electrostatically actuated micro peristaltic pump is reported. The micro pump is entirely surface micromachined using a multilayer parylene technology. Taking advantage of the multilayer technology, the micro pump design enables the pumped fluid to be isolated from the electric field. Electrostatic actuation of the parylene membrane using both DC and AC voltages was demonstrated and applied ...
متن کاملDesign, fabrication and characterization of monolithic embedded parylene microchannels in silicon substrate.
This paper presents a novel channel fabrication technology of bulk-micromachined monolithic embedded polymer channels in silicon substrate. The fabrication process favorably obviates the need for sacrificial materials in surface-micromachined channels and wafer-bonding in conventional bulk-micromachined channels. Single-layer-deposited parylene C (poly-para-xylylene C) is selected as a structur...
متن کاملOptimizing the Delivery of Toxins and Glycans to Photonic Biosensor Surfaces
and Introduction: Photonic biosensors allow for precise, real-time, and label-free detection of biomolecules by using micro-ring resonators, which are ring-shaped waveguides that permit different frequencies of light to resonate, as a function of the concentration of target molecules near the biosensor surface [1, 2]. The localization of target molecules to the surface occurs through a biochemi...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Fluid Mixing in a Micro-Channel Mixer with Two Rotating Stirrers by Using the Incompressible SPH Method
Fluid mixing is a crucial and challenging process for microfluidic systems, which are widely used in biochemical processes. Because of their fast performance, active micromixers that use stirrer blades are considered for biological applications. In the present study, by using a robust and convenient Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH) method, miscible mix...
