A Portable BLE-Controllable Micropump Driver for Lab-on-Chip Applications
摘要
Research in the deployment of compact systems for microfluidic analysis is gathering attention from the industrial and academic world. In this work, we propose a portable battery-powered driver for active micropumps. The driver is remotely-controllable through a Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) interface deployed by means of a System-on-Chip (SoC). To ensure the stability of the generated flow, a feedback mechanism was realized. Preliminary characterization results prove the effectiveness of the proposed design and its low power consumption.
