Microfluidic systems represent a new tool to manipulate biological samples such as blood, living cells, DNA, proteins, and small molecules by exploiting the dynamic properties of microscale transport phenomena. In this presentation, I will address two subtopics, i.e., applications of microfluidics and its mass production method. Firstly, we introduce microfluidic platforms which can control the physical behavior of flow and analytes using microfluidic characteristics. Also, we provide a theoretical and numerical explanation on the underlying physics behind microfluidics. Secondly, we investigate microinjection molding that is one of sustainably possible mass production methods able to manufacture microfluidic devices in a time and cost-effective fashion. |
