This work presents a new concept for fluid flow manipulation in μPADs by introducing cholinium based poly-ionic liquid hydrogels.The μPADs were manufactured with standard laboratory filter paper, by wax printing. It has been clearly observed that UV-photopolymerised hydrogels highly affect the fluid flow on paper by behaving as negative flow passive pumps.
