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