    摘要: In various embodiments, a pump is provided that includes a microfluidic channel and a plurality of electrodes for electrostatically translating a target fluid along the channel from an inlet to an outlet. In other embodiments, a valve includes a microfluidic channel, a reservoir in fluidic communication with the channel, and an electrode for electrostatically drawing a fluid from the reservoir into the channel so as to block the flow of other fluids through the channel.
