The area of micro total analysis systems, also called “lab on a chip”, or miniaturized analysis
systems, is growing rapidly. Since the excellent research documented in many publications …

Harnessing the ability to precisely and reproducibly actuate fluids and manipulate
bioparticles such as DNA, cells, and molecules at the microscale, microfluidics is a powerful …

After having reviewed some aspects of microfluidic system preparation in the first part (1), in
this second part of the review we will cover a number of standard operations (namely …

Needle-free jet injectors have been proposed as an alternative to injections with hypodermic
needles. Currently, a handful of commercial needle-free jet injectors already exist. However …

Demand for DNA sequence information has never been greater, yet current Sanger
technology is too costly, time consuming, and labor intensive to meet this ongoing demand …

“With the fundamentals of microscale flow and species transport well developed, the recent
trend in microfluidics has been to work towards the development of integrated devices which …

Monolithic elastomer membrane valves and diaphragm pumps suitable for large-scale
integration into glass microfluidic analysis devices are fabricated and characterized. Valves …

This review article describes recent developments in microfluidics, with special emphasis on
disposable plastic devices. Included is an overview of the common methods used in the …

This paper provides an overview of the rather new field concerning the applications of
femtosecond laser microstructuring of glass to optofluidics. Femtosecond lasers have …

The use of planar fluidic devices for performing small-volume chemistry was first proposed
by analytical chemists, who coined the term" miniaturized total chemical analysis …
