This article shows the development of a computer-controlled lab-on-a-chip device with three magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pumps and a pneumatic valve. The chip was made of a stack of layers of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), cut using a laser engraver and thermally bonded. The MHD pumps were built using permanent magnets (neodymium) and platinum electrodes, all of them controlled by an Arduino board and a set of relays. The implemented pumps were able to drive solutions in the open channels with a fl ...[more]
