ABSTRACT:
The present invention generally provides an apparatus for enhancing transport and direction of materials in fluidic systems, which systems utilize electroosmotic (E/O) flow systems, to affect that transport and direction. The apparatus generally comprises providing an effective concentration of at least one zwitterionic compound in the fluid containing the material that is to be transported or directed.
