Although the field of microfluidics has made significant progress in bringing new tools to address biological questions, the accessibility and adoption of microfluidics within the life sciences are still limited. Open microfluidic systems have the potential to lower the barriers to adoption, but the absence of robust design rules has hindered their use.

Microfluidics for cryopreservation [PDF]
Cryopreservation has utility in clinical and scientific research but implementation is highly complex and includes labor-intensive cell-specific protocols for the addition/removal of cryoprotective agents and freeze-thaw cycles. Microfluidic platforms can revolutionize cryopreservation by providing new tools to manipulate and screen cells at micro/nano

Microfluidics in biotechnology [PDF]
Microfluidics enables biotechnological processes to proceed on a scale (microns) at which physical processes such as osmotic movement, electrophoretic-motility and surface interactions become enhanced. At the microscale sample volumes and assay times are reduced, and procedural costs are lowered.

Microfluidics for bioapplications [PDF]
A few months ago, when I was asked to gather articles for a special issue for Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, I did not hesitate. However, I needed to come up with a good working title matching the readers’ interest and my own education. Considering my background, the title should include the term “microfluidics” and something with “bio,” and ...
