Abstract
Microfluidic chips have been fabricated to study electrokinetic pumping generated by a
low voltage AC signal applied to an asymmetric electrode array. A measurement procedure
has been established and followed carefully resulting in a high degree of reproducibility of the
measurements. Depending on the ionic concentration as well as the amplitude of the applied
voltage, the observed direction of the DC flow component is either forward or reverse
