Abstract (en)
[origin: WO03026798A1] The invention concerns a method for moving a fluid of interest in a capillary tube and a fluidic microsystem. More particularly, it concerns the field of microfluidics, and in particular fluidic microsystems. The method comprises steps which consist in: providing in said capillary tube (1) at least a ferrofluid stream (3), said ferrofluid assembly (3) comprising a ferrofluid plug (5), and arranged at least at one of the two ends of the ferrofluid plug (5) and integral therewith, a liquid plug (7) non-miscible with the ferrofluid and with the fluid of interest; providing in said capillary tube, proximate to the ferrofluid assembly and on the side of the liquid plug (7) non-miscible with the ferrofluid and the fluid of interest, the fluid of interest (9); and controlling the displacement of the fluid of interest in said capillary tube by the action on said ferrofluid assembly of a magnetic field generated by a magnetic system arranged outside the capillary tube.
