Microfluidics has emerged from the MEMS-technology as an important research field and a promising market. This paper gives all overview on one of the most important microfluidic components: the micropump. In the last decade, various micropumps have been developed. There arc only a few review papers on microfluidic devices and none of them were dedicated only to micropumps. This review paper outlines systematically the pump principles and their realization with MEMS-technology. Comparisons regarding Pump size, flow rate, and back-pressure will help readers to decide their proper design be re starting a microfluidics project. Different pump principles arc compared graphically and discussed in terms of their advantages and disadvantages for particular applications.
