Abstract

Electrokinetics has become a popular method of both particulate and fluidic control in microdevices. In an effort to address the problems associated with conventional electrokinetic control, we use silver-silver chloride electrodes for low-voltage, spatially localized electrokinetic control in microfluidic devices. This work presents an analysis of the electric fields generated by silver-silver chloride electrodes and establishes a nondimensional design parameter that governs the device performance. In addition, an optimal parameter space for maximum electrode longevity is presented.
