Microfluidics refers to a system that manipulates a small amount of fluids using small channels with sizes of ten to hundreds of micrometres. It is a multidisciplinary field that involves molecular an
NIST researchers have combined a glass slide, plastic sheets and double-sided tape to create an inexpensive and simple-to-build microfluidic device for exposing an array of cells to different concentrations of a chemical

…automation, and high-throughput screening. Microfluidics emerged in the beginning of the 1980s and is used in the development of inkjet printheads, DNA chips, lab-on-a-chip technology, micro-propulsion, and micro-thermal technologies. Typically microfluidic systems transport, mix, separate, or otherwise…
