Abstract (en)
A micro-fluidic device (1) including a two-dimensional array of a plurality of components (2) for processing a fluid and/or for sensing properties of the fluid is suggested. The components comprise at least one heater element (13) for thermophoretic movement of fluid. The active matrix includes a two-dimensional array of electronic components (12) realized in thin film technology. The active matrix provides a high versatility of the device. The thin film technology ensures a very cost efficient manufacturing also of large devices.
