iMICROFLUIDICS: SMARTPHONE CONTROLLED HANDHELD MICRO- FLUIDIC PLATFORM

Here we present iMicrofluidics, a handheld microfluidic platform capable of active pumping and controlling different reagents. The platform was based on Lateral Cavity Acoustic Transducer (LCAT) pumps driven by custom driver electronics and controlled through an application implemented on a popular smartphone. As an initial demonstration of the versatility of the system, the application allowed the user to control the position of the interface of two different reagents coflowing in the main channel of a T-junction on a disposable chip.
