Summary :

We have developed and evaluated a prototype micro-pump for a new form of medication that is driven by a chemical reaction. The chemical reaction between citric acid and sodium bicarbonate produces carbon dioxide, the pressure of which pushes the medication out. This micropump is smaller in size than conventional diaphragm-type micropumps and is suitable for swallowing.
