Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a micro-fluidic sensor system (6) including a micro-conduit (56) for carrying fluid therethrough having a flexible wall portion (18), at least one micro-fluidic actuator having a closed cavity, flexible mechanism defining a wall of the cavity (11) and flexible wall portion (18) of the micro-conduit for deflecting upon an application of pressure thereto, and expanding mechanism (14) disposed in the cavity for selectively expanding the cavity and thereby selectively flexing said expanding mechanism, and sensor mechanism in fluid communication with the micro-conduit for sensing the presence or absence of molecules. The present invention further provides for a micro-fluidic system for moving micro-fluid amounts including a micro-conduit and at least one micro-fluidic actuator in fluid communication with the micro-conduit.

Abstract: A micro-fluidic pump (22) has a pulsating micro chamber (46) which includes a walled chamber (50). The walled chamber further includes at least one pulsating portion (52) actuable to pulse and change an interior volume of th e walled chamber. An actuating mechanism (10) peristaltically moves fluids through a micro conduit (56). The actuating mechanism includes a closed pock et (11) adjacent to the conduit. A flexible mechanism (18) defines a portion of a wall of the micro conduit (56). An expanding mechanism (14) which is understood to be a fluid is disposed within the pocket (11) for expanding a volume of the pocket and thereby flexing the flexible mechanism (18) into th e micro conduit thereby changing the volume of the conduit (56).
