Abstract
Simple fluid pumps have been developed to improve microfluidic device portability, but they cannot be easily programmed, produce repeatable pumping performance, or generate complex flow profiles — key requirements for increasing the functionality of portable microdevices. We present a detachable, paper-based, “hydraulic battery” that can be connected to the outlet of a microfluidic channel to pump fluid at varying flow rates over time, including step changes, ramping flows, and oscillating flows.
