Microfluidics is a promising technology that is increasingly attracting the attention of researchers due to its high efficiency and low-cost features. Micropumps, micromixers, and microvalves have been widely applied in various biomedical applications due to their compact size and precise dosage controllability. Nevertheless, despite the vast amount of research reported in this research area, the ability to implement these devices in portable and implantable applications is still limited. To date, such devices are constricted to the use of wires, or on-board power supplies, such as batteries. This thesis presents novel techniques that allow wireless control of passive microfluidic devices using an external radiofrequency magnetic field utilizing thermopneumatic principle. Three microfluidic devices are designed and developed to perform within the range of implantable drug-delivery devices. To demonstrate the wireless control of microfluidic devices, a wireless implantable thermopneumatic micropump is presented. Thermopneumatic pumping with a maximum flow rate of 2.86 μL/min is realized using a planar wirelessly-controlled passive inductor-capacitor heater. Then, this principle was extended in order to demonstrate the selective wireless control of multiple passive heaters. A passive wirelessly-controlled thermopneumatic zigzag micromixer is developed as a mean of a multiple drug delivery device. A maximum mixing efficiency of 96.1% is achieved by selectively activating two passive wireless planar inductor-capacitor heaters that have different resonant frequency values. To eliminate the heat associated with aforementioned wireless devices, a wireless piezoelectric normally-closed microvalve for drug delivery applications is developed. A piezoelectric diaphragm is operated wirelessly using the wireless power that is transferred from an external magnetic field. Valving is achieved with a percentage error as low as 3.11% in a 3 days long-term functionality test. The developed devices present a promising implementation of the reported wireless actuation principles in various portable and implantable biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, analytical assays, and cell lysis devices
