Microfluidic switchboards with integrated inertial pumps [PDF]

Microfluidics and Nanofluidics, 2018
Arrays of H-shape microfluidic channels connecting two different fluidic reservoirs have been built with silicon/SU8 microfabrication technologies utilized in production of thermal inkjet printheads. The fluids are delivered to the channels via slots etched through the silicon wafer. Every H-shape channel comprises four thermal inkjet resistors, one in
