Paper Pumps Power Microfluidic Biomedical Tools (IMAGE)
Caption
A paper pump, or 'hydraulic battery,' is shown here pumping fluid through a simple microchannel at a constant rate of 0.6 μl/min. Each snapshot is 12 min apart. The technology may be used to develop new technologies, such as portable diagnostic tools for use in the field.
