Experiments were conducted on the investigation of the electroosmotic flow with five different electric field strength, four kinds of buffer solution concentration, six different pH values, and three kinds of microchannel geometry. Joule heating effects were also taken into consideration. Experiments were performed using a microparticle image velocimetry (MPIV) for full field velocity distributions and micro laser-induced fluorescent (£gLIF) for full field temperature distributions. It is found that the presence of Joule heating and flow area change could have a great impact on the microfluidic transportation, e.g. dispersion. Furthermore, data were presented and the relation between zeta potential and pH value were discussed in detail. It is found that, as pH > 7.5, all silanol sites are deprotonated.
