Propulsion pump
The present invention relates to a microfluidic capillary propulsion pump as well as to the manufacture and use of such pumps. The pumps of the present invention are particularly useful within lab-on-a-chip, point of care and drug delivery applications. The pump is activated wherein a working liquid (108) located in an inlet channel (106) contacts a solid sorbent (101) and is then absorbed therein. A fluid (e.g. air) contained in the solid sorbent (201) is then expulsed and propulses a second fluid (109) located in an outlet channel (105).
