1. A microfluidic system, being a tilted-actuator pump, and comprising:
a support plate;
a fluidic chip disposed on the support plate, wherein the fluidic chip has a fluidic network comprising at least one fluidic channel;
an actuator having a plurality of compression structures configured to roll against the fluidic chip to control the fluidic channel to switch between an open state and a closed state, wherein each of the compression structures is a roller; and
a motor shaft inserted in the actuator to drive the actuator to rotate relative to the fluidic chip;
wherein the actuator and the motor shaft are disposed to tilt from an actuator-contact surface of the fluidic chip, such that the actuator rotates in a plane tilted by an angle with respect to the actuator-contact surface of the fluidic chip.
