Chapter
Microfluidic Devices and Their Applications
Abstract
Microfluidics and nanofluidics is a field of science that operates in the micrometer and nanometer scale. A microfluidic–nanofluidic device consists of components such as valves, pumps and mixers for manipulating and transporting the fluid at this scale. In this chapter we review the history, physics, fabrication methods and applications of microfluidics and nanofluidics. This interdisciplinary field has a wide range of application areas …
