Microfluidics

A silicon-based microfluidic chip that distinguishes different viral strains shows potential for the quick on-site diagnosis of infectious diseases

Instability is the key to mixing fluids with markedly different viscosities in microfluidic devices

A new breed of microfluidic devices can accelerate drug discovery by making it possible to assess the effects of thousands of drug candidates on ion channels simultaneously

Silicon-based microfluidic devices that make use of a stepwise junction can deliver droplets of various sizes

Printing of microchannels in polymers takes a step forward, but fine-tuning is still required
