ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for pumping through an orifice (30, 31) of a first substrate (1), a first volume of liquid (2) in contact with a first hydrophobic surface of said substrate, wherein a pressure variation between the first volume of liquid and a second volume of liquid (2′), located in contact with said orifice and a second hydrophobic surface of said substrate, is achieved by electrowetting.
