Microfluidic systems are nonturbulent, highly miniaturized devices that contain networks of microchannels for fluids to pass through or be contained in. The properties and behavior of the microliter quantities of fluids—which are often much different compared to fluids on a macroscale—are then monitored. Microfluidic systems are generally used in controlled biological experiments to facilitate operations […]
Oxygen concentrators are crucial medical devices for many people. They supply constant pure oxygen to patients for breathing assistance. Every new or used oxygen concentrator may succumb to wear and tear from strenuous use. Wear and tear causes multiple issues that could affect the device’s performance.
