Then, in 1990, Manz e.al. suggested that microscale fluidic devices could be used to create a complete analysis system – a "Total Analysis System" (TAS) that could automatically perform all the ...

For decades semiconductors have formed the core of microelectronic circuits. Although nanofluidics may not put silicon out of business, it will likely open a host of new applications.

Revolutionizing: Nanofluidic devices enable precise manipulation ... functional integration, and precise fluidic control. By bridging diverse disciplines through innovative nanofluidic ...

Computers come in many forms, depending on your definition. We’ve seen computers and computer gates built out of things as diverse as marbles, relays, and — of course — transistors.

The ability of Fluidigm's microfluidic devices—called integrated fluidic circuits (IFCs)—to isolate and control individual cells can provide great insight into the development of biological ...

This difference is due to the larger role surface tension, energy dissipation, and fluidic resistance play when distances and volumes are minimized.
