Researchers have developed a new rapid prototyping technique for fluoropolymer microfluidic device. This microfluidic device was fabricated by two steps: (1) cutting commercially available ...

Active microvalves and passive microvalves in microfluidic chips. (A) Typical structure of active microvalve: sliding arm. PDMS structures contain a guiding channel and a fluidic channel and were ...

(Nanowerk News) Most conventional microfluidic devices are fabricated in inherently planar, block-like devices that can't be changed once fabricated. In contrast, an important feature of naturally ...

A recent study published in Advanced Materials Technologies introduced a microfluidic spinning process to create poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) microfibers.

Stephen Quake, a bioengineer and applied physicist at Stanford University, has always been interested in the interface between physics and biology. During his work at the California Institute of ...

Researchers at Toyohashi University of Technology in Japan, in collaboration with the Institute of Translational Medicine and Biomedical Engineering (IMTIB) in Argentina and the Indian Institute of ...

Microfluidics refers to the flow of a few microliters of fluids in micrometre-sized channels. For such flows, properties such as surface tension and fluidic resistance dominate how the system behaves.

Soft lithography is a fabrication technique used to create micro- and nanoscale patterns. Developed in the early 1990s by George M. Whitesides and colleagues, it simplifies pattern formation by using ...
