摘要: This paper briefly overviews progress on the development of MEMS-based micropumps and their applications in drug delivery and other biomedical applications such as micrototal analysis systems (μTAS) or lab-on-a-chip and point of care testing systems (POCT). The focus of the review is to present key features of micropumps such as actuation methods, working principles, construction, fabrication methods, performance parameters and their medical applications. Micropumps have been categorized as mechanical or non-mechanical …
