Provided is a fluid control device comprising: (a) a channel of capillary dimensions for conveying a liquid, (b) a bubble-forming device for forming a channel-blocking bubble in the channel, wherein such a bubble formed in the channel impedes the flow of the liquid through the channel.

Flow control in microfluidics devices by controlled bubble formation

Provided is an electrode-based pump having source of a pumped fluid, a conduit channel of capillary dimensions connected via a first end to the pumped fluid source and having an outlet at a second end, a piston channel with a first end that intersects the conduit channel, wherein the piston channel allows for periodic inward and outward movement of a piston plug of liquid, two or more electrodes inserted into the piston channel which define an electrode-based pump, wherein the electrode-based pump can be operated to move the piston plug of liquid inward and outward.
