Applications

Microfluidics, as a technology for manipulating micro-volume fluids at microscopic scales, is an emerging interdisciplinary subject involving the fields of micromechanics, fluids, physics, materials, biology, chemistry and biomedicine. Because of the characteristics of miniaturization and integration, microfluidic devices are often referred to as microfluidic chips, also known as Lab on a Chip and micro-Total Analytical System ( μTAS ).
