Displacement Pumping of Liquids Radially Inward on Centrifugal Microfluidic Platforms in Motion

Displacement Pumping of Liquids Radially Inward on Centrifugal Microfluidic Platforms in Motion

We describe two novel centrifugal microfluidic platform designs that enable passive pumping of liquids radially inward while the platform is in motion. The first design uses an immiscible liquid to displace an aqueous solution back towards the center of the platform, while the second design uses an...
