Abstract

The main applications for which micropumps have been developed are drug delivery and taking and transporting of samples for analysis. It is much easier to build a micropump than a microvalve, and much more publications exist on micropumps than on microvalves. The problem with micropumps is that up to now there is no large market for them. Many tasks which could be done by micropumps can be done by even easier devices. For example, drug delivery can be done by an infusion bottle hanged up.
