Microfluidics for cell-based assays
Microfluidic systems are powerful tools in chemistry, physics, and biology. The behavior of confined fluids differs from macroscopic systems and allows precise control of the chemical composition of fluids, as well as the temporal and spatial patterns of microscopic fluid elements.
