Microfluidic aspirator and methods of making and using the same
Abstract
Disclosed herein are devices that include a top chamber including at least one port, a bottom chamber including at least one inlet and at least one outlet, wherein the opening of the at least one inlet is smaller than the opening of the at least one outlet, and a membrane located between the top chamber and the bottom chamber, wherein the membrane is fluidly coupled with the top chamber and the bottom chamber. Also disclosed herein are systems including the disclosed devices. The systems include liquid in one or more of the chambers of the device. Methods of using the devices and systems include producing a vacuum by flowing a liquid through the bottom chamber of the system. Due to the difference in size of the inlet and outlet in the bottom chamber, a vacuum is produced in the top chamber.
