Motivation: Microfluidic manipulation
• Fully integrated lab on chip• Mixing, concentration, pumping, separation of fluids and
particles in microchannels• Example: Mixing for bioassays
goal: Improve reaction rate in traditional and microarray biosensors via mixing.

• Solution: Integrated electrodes generating AC electrothermal mixing
• Electrothermal force:
interaction of gradients in conductivity and permittivity (produced by Joule Heating) with electric field
• Advantages: Easy integration
AC=>avoid electrolysis
Effective for high conductivity solutions
Motivation: Microfluidic manipulation

Conclusion
Strong thermo-electric coupling and
Temperature dependent expression of parameters
are necessary to correctly model ACET at high gradient of temperature.
Future Works• Include buoyancy to the model.• Check for which parameters buoyancy is NOT
negligeable.
