Bioengineering, 2019 Microfluidics platforms can program small amounts of fluids to execute a bio-protocol, and thus, can automate the work of a technician and also integrate a large part of laboratory equipment. Although most microfluidic systems have considerably reduced the size of a laboratory, they are still benchtop units, of a size comparable to a desktop computer ...

Microfluidics for bioapplications [PDF]
Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2009 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 ...
