The Invention concerns to a micro-actuator device for the use in biochip or bio-system. In order to achieve a micro-actuator device for the use as a micro pump in biosensors or bio-systems, or at least bio-chips, by which the actuation can be steered very precisely and effective, the solution is that the micro actuator consist of a photosensitive actuator element (1), which can be deformed from a reversal basic-form into an activated deformation form by photonic activation of a light source (3, 4, L1, L2) in order to generate with this controlled movement a defined flow in a gas or a liquid.

The invention relates to a micro-electro-mechanical system comprising a ciliary actuator (100) having a flexible electrode unit (FE) and a stationary electrode unit (SE), wherein the flexible electrode unit (FE) can be rolled-up or out according to a voltage (VPMA) applied between the flexible and the stationary electrode unit (SE). The invention provides means that allow to bring the actuator into a stable intermediate state (INT) between the totally rolled-up (UP) and the totally rolled-out (DWN) state. In one embodiment of the invention, the means comprise the application of a definite voltage and/or the transfer of a definite charge to the actuator. In another embodiment, the stationary electrode unit (SE) is composed of several segments of different drive electrodes (SE1, SE2) that can selectively be activated to roll the actuator (100) to a desired position.

According to an aspect of the present invention, a device for fragmenting molecules in a sample by ultrasound is provided. The device comprises a planar-shaped cartridge and a fragmentation instrument that has a vessel-like shape. By means of applying under-pressure in the fragmentation instrument the cartridge is pulled towards the fragmentation instrument and therefore spatially closes a fluid compartment that is comprised by the fragmentation instrument. Afterwards, an ultrasound treatment of the sample, which is comprised in a sample compartment of the cartridge, may be processed. A sealing layer is provided in between the cartridge and the fragmentation instrument in order to hold the fixation of the cartridge tightly and in order to provide for leakage prevention out of the fluid compartment.
摘要:
A device or support, system and method are provided for precisely targeted and/or highly controlled interaction with a targeted cell or tissue in a body, with the support providing an ergonomic connecting interface for selectively connecting the support to a cell or tissue with at least minimal adverse affect to such cell or tissue, the system providing a remote facility that may be operatively associated with the support, and the method providing steps for employing the support and/or system so as to, inter alia, improve treatment, diagnostic and/or monitoring techniques and increase sensitivity and specificity with respect to interacting with, for example, diseased or abnormal cells or tissue without adversely effecting surrounding healthy cells or tissue, and/or the body in general.
