Thermo-pneumatic pumping (TPP) is used to pump fluids on a microfluidic compact disc (CD) to the center of the CD. The expansion of air during heating drives the fluid transfer during TPP. It is easy to fabricate the TPP air chamber and adjoining channel since there are no moving components in their...
