Working with nanoliter volumes requires specialized devices and techniques capable of precise fluid handling and manipulation. Some key tools and methods used in nanoliter-scale research include: ...

Old-school electrical engineers—and plenty of older research scientists, even biologists like me—remember the days of building circuits from parts: capacitors, resistors, and transistors. The creation ...

Microfluidics is a powerful technique for modulating the fluidic behavior of bioparticles in microscale channels and has opened up new avenues for biomedical research and clinical diagnosis.

Often hidden from view, microfluidics underlies a variety of devices that are essential to our lives, from inkjet printers to glucometers for the monitoring of diabetes. Microfluidics—which refers to ...
