development length, to establish the Poiseuille velocity
profile

time for viscous stresses to diffuse from wall

Squeezed-Film Damping
> This is how we will get our b (or R) for the parallel-plate actuator
> The result of motion against a fluid boundary
• If the fluid is incompressible, there can be a large pressure rise, so
•
large back forces result
If the fluid is compressible, it takes finite motion to create a
pressure rise
> In either case, the dissipation due to viscous flow provides a
damping mechanism for the motion
> This is related to “lubrication theory”

> This was THE original driver for micro-TAS
• TAS = total analysis systems
> Create fully integrated microsystems that would
go from “sample to answer”
> The KEY enabler was the integration of nonmechanical valves with the separation column
• This creates extremely narrow sample plugs

An aside on electrodes
> Current in the electrolyte is carried by ions
> Current in the wire is carried by electrons
> At the surface, something must happen to transfer
this current
> This is electrochemistry and the typical byproduct are
gases Æ bubbles

Comparing EOF & pressure-driven flow
> Other issues typically matter more
> Valving
• EOF has “built-in” valving using E-fields
• Poiseuille needs mechanical valves
> Liquid limitations
• Poiseuille flow can pump any liquid
• EOF ionic strength limits
» Debye length depends on 1/√C0
» Increasing ionic strength decreases LD and thus
•
EOF
» Typically use ~10-100 mM salt buffer
EOF pH limits
» pH affects wall charge Æ affects EOF
» Typically use pH ~7 buffers

Comparing EOF & pressure-driven flow
> Materials issues
• Poiseuille flow can use any material
• EOF requires defined (and stable) surface charge
» Best is silica (or at least glass)
» Polymers are more difficult
» Surface charge can change as molecules
adsorb, etc.
> System partitioning
• Both approaches involve off-chip components
» Electrodes for EOF
» Pumps for Poiseuille flow
• Integrating complete lab-on-a-chip usually BAD idea
» EOF: Easier to use external electronics
» Poiseuille: Pumps hard to make on-chip

Comparing EOF & pressure-driven flow
> Transport limitations
• EOF
» Will separate molecules as they are convected
downstream
» Species in flow must tolerate E-fields (DNA/proteins
OK, cells not so good)
» Plugs remain plugs
• Poiseuille flow
» Will not separate molecules
» Objects in flow must tolerate shear/pressure
(DNA/proteins OK, cells OK depending on
shear/pressure)
» Will distort plugs
