Modeling and quantitative design play a key role in MEMS to explore the difference parameter space that can influence the performance of micro fluidic devices. In this study the effects of actuation profile incorporated with geometrical dimensions has been investigated on self-assembly of different types of fluids in micro fluidic devices. Different types of asymmetric electrode array were designed and associated electric field profile had been modeled. The optimization of operating conditions of asymmetric field profile with controlled geometrical dimensions on self-assembly of different type of polar solutions has been investigated for different biological applications.
