Claim:
1. A micro-channel electrode structure, comprising: a layer; an electrode micro-channel formed in the layer, the electrode micro-channel having an electrode micro-channel bottom forming the bottom of the electrode micro-channel, electrode micro-channel walls forming sides of the electrode micro-channel, and an electrode micro-channel top defined by the top of the electrode micro-channel walls, the electrode micro-channel at least partially filled with an electrode that extends along the electrode micro-channel and extends from the electrode micro-channel bottom toward the electrode micro-channel top; a fluid micro-channel formed in the layer, the fluid micro-channel adapted to carry a fluid; an electrical power source connected to the electrode providing a charge on the electrode that extends from the electrode micro-channel bottom toward the electrode micro-channel top; and wherein the fluid micro-channel intersects the electrode micro-channel in the layer to form a micro-channel intersection and the electrode extends from the electrode micro-channel into the micro-channel intersection without occluding the fluid micro-channel.
