Microfluidic definitions and advantages

Microfluidics is the science of manipulating and controlling fluids, usually in the range of

Chips in microfluidics

Chips are the devices used in microfluidic studies in which micro-channels have been molded or

Microfluidic Tubing

Working in a microfluidic environment usually requires the use of various fittings and tubing

Microfluidic volume definitions

The chip has its own volume, tubing has an internal volume. Fittings like unions, adapters or tees

Microfluidic Resistance

Microfluidic flows are characterized by the prevalence of the viscous effects compared to inertia

Microfluidics Stability and Resolution

In any discussion about stability, three parameters have to be distinguished:

What is responsiveness?

Responsiveness is the ability to provide a flow within the required time frame. This determines
