Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to an apparatus (100) and a corresponding method for rapid mixing and pumping of fluids which includes a movable and controllable rotating magnetic field (102), a microfluidic channel (104) including a mixing zone (106) and a pumping chamber (108) within the magnetic field (102), and a plurality of magnetic rods (116) within the micro fluidic channel (104) and the magnetic field (102), whereby the rotating magnetic field (102) applies torque to the magnetic rods (116).
