Category: Microfluidics: the basics

If you’re new to microfluidics, you might be wondering how flow rate, pressure, and resistance are related. In this blog post, we’ll explain the theory behind these concepts so that you can better understand how they impact your microfluidic designs....

In most cases, it is possible to reuse a microfluidic chip several times. However, you should properly clean your chip after each use to avoid any loss of properties (e.g. coating), cross-contamination or clogging. For chips with complex structures (e.g....

The subject of this review is to evaluate to what extent the true value of a characteristic can be measured. To answer this question, 2 criterias must be taken into account: the intrinsic characteristics of the instrument and the measurement...

Microfluidics designates the science but also the techniques behind flow managing at the micro-scale. At these sizes, fluids’ dynamics radically changes compared to everyday life: for instance, water streams are laminar, meaning that they do not mix or form vortexes...

The objective of microfluidics is to miniaturize as much as possible all the components of the microfluidic platform, which implies the use and manipulation of very low volumes (named internal volume) ranging from ten nanolitres to a hundred microlitres. Needless...
