Zusammenfassung:A micropump comprises body of semiconductor material, and fluid-tight chambers having preset internal pressure. The fluid-tight chambers are selectively openable and formed in the body. Independent claims are also included for: (a) manufacturing a vacuum micropump comprising forming cavities (32) in substrate of a wafer of semiconductor material, and sealing the cavities at a preset pressure; (b) amplification comprising amplifying a target nucleic acid in an integrated microfluidic reactor; and (c) biological analysis comprising analyzing a target biological molecule in integrated microfluidic reactor. The fluid having target nucleic acid is moved through the microfluidic device reactor using the micropump.
