摘要
Abstract Microfluidics is a technology that features the movement of small volumes of fluids through microscale channels. It provides a powerful and precise research platform for studying basic phenomena of fluid flow at the microscale, and a powerful analytical platform for conducting experimental assays. This article discusses the basic features and applications of microfluidics.
