Micropumping has emerged as a critical research area for many electronics and biological applications. A significant driving force behind this research has been integration of pumping mechanisms into micro Total Analysis Systems ( TAS) or similar multi-functional analysis techniques. However, electronics packaging, micromixing and microdosing systems, among others, have also exploited micropumping concepts. This work commences with a comprehensive review of the recent advances in micropump technologies. Quantitative comparison tables of various micropumping techniques are listed as tabular...
