ABSTRACT:
A microfluidic device includes a microfluidic circuit, having an axis, and an electric field generator, arranged to establish an electric field (E) within at least a section of the microfluidic circuit, the electric field (E) being oriented transversally to the axis. The electric field is used to locally concentrate charged molecules, thus increasing the reaction rate.
