Abstract
A method for pumping through an orifice of a first substrate, a first volume of liquid in contact with a first hydrophobic surface of said substrate, wherein a pressure variation between the first volume of liquid and a second volume of liquid, located in contact with said orifice and a second hydrophobic surface of said substrate, is achieved by electrowetting.
