(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 ...

One thousand microchannels, each the width of a human hair, can be printed for as little as £0.20. (Courtesy: CC BY 4.0/PLoS ONE 10.1371/journal.pone.0245206) Researchers at the University of Bristol ...

A new microfluidic device that traps individual cells in microscopic hydrogel “apartments” allows the cells to be individually treated and analyzed much more readily than with previous devices (Anal.

An organ-on-a-chip is a microfluidic device with continuously perfused chambers in which cells are cultured to obtain functional units that mimic organ functions. The organ-on-a-chip stands out as a ...

Devices with intricate interlacing channels, the width of a human hair, that move minuscule amounts of liquids, and can be used to diagnose and treat complex diseases, can now be made using a ...

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS or silicone) is an important and versatile material used in the field of printed electronics (PE). In particular, thin film layers of PDMS show great promise for use in ...
