Blog-on-Chips — lab on a chip

What is microfluidics? It's a technology that will revolutionize biology as well as medical diagnostics. How through the manipulation of biological samples and miniaturized devices? The aim is that many operations currently performed in biological labs could be miniaturized and integrated into a single chip...

MEMS or microelectromechanical systems use micro-sized components as sensors transducers and actuators. These are currently found in cars, gaming devices, smartphones, and environmental testers. Many of these same MEMS are used in the medical field, for example, the MEMS and neural sensors found in smartphones are also found in pacemakers...

Microfluidics is a science at the microscopic scale. But it's also mature technology that has already been applied to everyday objects such as inkjet printers, and LOC devices that can shrink a whole laboratory down to a few square inches...

This is introductory writing to the field. Microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip is a very broad field with many researchers. Often the research is very application-specific and therefore there is no area to fit in this specific writing...

Macro/Micro-channel applications have been researched for many years by their advantages in improving mass and heat transfer. After the development of microsystems which was predicated on macro systems, the flow and heat transfer techniques in channels are getting more and more understood...
