The advent of microfluidic technology as a basic tool for chemical synthesis is slowly coming of age, particularly in industrial settings. As with many new techniques, initial claims regarding ...

The integration of microfluidics and nanotechnology has revolutionized the landscape of cancer research, offering ...

Researchers have created a microfluidic device that can reliably make cell structures that are similar to early-stage human embryos without using actual embryonic tissue (Nature 2019, DOI: 10.1038 ...

Respiratory infections such as COVID-19 have been responsible for numerous pandemics and have placed a substantial burden on ...

Microfluidic Lab-on-a-Chip Devices aid Diagnostics. While microfluidic chips offered improvements to cell culture practices at the lab bench, the medical field wasn’t far behind in their adoption.

Figure 1. Experimental setup to monitor oxygenation in microfluidic cell culture. (A) The microfluidic device consists of a microscope slide as transparent and rigid support, the commercial oxygen ...

Microfluidic chips are particularly promising in cancer diagnosis. In most cases, a tissue biopsy is the initial means of making a diagnosis. With increasing accuracy, liquid biopsies – where ...

Microfluidic devices use tiny spaces to manipulate very small quantities of liquids and gasses by taking advantage of the properties they exhibit at the microscale. They have demonstrated ...

A fabrication process can produce self-heating microfluidic devices in one step using a multimaterial 3D printer. These devices, which can be made rapidly and cheaply in large numbers, could help ...

Years ago, prototyping microfluidic systems was a long, time-intensive task. With inspiration from DIY PCB fabrication techniques, that time is now greatly reduced. However, even with the improveme… ...

They wanted a “microfluidic chip that looked cool.” Check out some more micro-fluid art below. Normally, a microfluidic chip looks like the one you’re seeing here on the left.
