Abstract: This study explores the use of piezoelectric micro pumps combined with control valves for microbial cell manipulation. By integrating the micropump with two three-port valves, a reversible and controlled flow was achieved through the timely actuation of relay switches. Experimental results demonstrated that at the pump's lowest setting (50 mW, 2.5 mbar), a volume of 0.029 ml was accurately aspirated and dispensed. This method effectively handles delicate biological samples, showcasing its potential for precise aspiration and dispensing in biomedical applications.
