✦ Synopsis
The design, fabrication and analysis of a low voltage electroosmotic (eo) pump with integrated Ag/AgCl electrodes are shown. The fabrication was based on casting the hydrophilic polymer NOA63, capping the NOA63 trenches with a glass-slide and subsequently depositing Ag/AgCl electrodes by a flow of electroless solution and structuring the electrodes by microfluidic stopvalves. The herewith obtained eo pump embedded into the microfluidic system had a capillary cross-section of 65 lm  55 lm and its flow rate was determined to be 0.12 nl s À1 V À1 U eh within the range of applied voltages U eh from À1.5 up to 1.5 V.
