Background:

Electroosmotic flow (EOF) is crucial in microfluidic devices.
Accurate measurement of low EOF rates is challenging.
Existing methods may lack sensitivity for low flow conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel method for measuring low electroosmotic flow (EOF) rates.

To provide a reliable technique for quantifying EOF in microfluidic systems.

Main Methods:

A tilting microchip design incorporating hydrostatic pressure.
Employing a sampling zone detection method.
Calculating EOF rates by measuring liquid flow velocity and apparent analyte mobility differences.

Main Results:

The proposed method successfully detected sampling zones in the tilting microchip.
Accurate low EOF rates were calculated for microchannels modified with BSA, MB, and PVA.
Measured EOF rates were consistent with conventional methods, validating the technique.

Conclusions:

The novel tilting microchip method provides a sensitive approach for low EOF rate measurement.
Hydrostatic pressure plays a key role in the enhanced detection of flow dynamics.
This technique offers a valuable tool for microfluidic research and applications.
