Microfluidics offer economy of reagents, rapid liquid delivery, and potential for automation of
many reactions, but often require peripheral equipment for flow control. Capillary …

As the integration of microfluidics into cell biology research proceeds at an ever-increasing
pace, a critical question for those working at the interface of both disciplines is which device …

We might be at the turning point where research in microfluidics undertaken in academia
and industrial research laboratories, and substantially sponsored by public grants, may …

Organs-on-chips have the potential to improve drug development efficiency and decrease
the need for animal testing. For the successful integration of these devices in research and …

The area of micro total analysis systems (μTAS), also called “lab on a chip”, miniaturized or
microfluidic analysis systems, is a rapidly developing field. During the last several years, we …

Autonomous capillary systems (CSs), where liquids are displaced by means of capillarity,
are efficient, fast and convenient platforms for many bioanalytical applications. The proper …

Evaporation, pervaporation, and forward osmosis are processes leading to a mass transfer
of solvent across an interface: gas/liquid for evaporation and solid/liquid (membrane) for …

Open microfluidic capillary systems are a rapidly evolving branch of microfluidics where
fluids are manipulated by capillary forces in channels lacking physical walls on all sides …

Paper-based microfluidics has recently received considerable interest due to their ease and
low cost, making them extremely attractive as point-of-care diagnostic devices. The …

The development of tools and processes used to fabricate, measure, and image nanoscale
objects has lead to a wide range of work devoted to producing sensors that interact with …
