Abstract
Provided is a microfluidic device for electrochemically regulating the pH of a fluid. The microfluidic device includes: an ion-exchange material; an anode chamber having a surface defined by a surface of the ion-exchange material and an anode electrode disposed along an edge of the surface of the anode chamber; and a cathode chamber having a surface defined by a surface of the ion-exchange material and a cathode electrode disposed along an edge of the surface of the cathode chamber, wherein the anode chamber and the cathode chamber are separated by an insulation material.
