Applications
Lab-on-Chip
Lab-on-Chip devices are becoming increasingly important as tools for scientific research and applications. These devices are able to miniaturize complex laboratory procedures onto a single chip, allowing for more efficient and accurate results. One of the key challenges in microfluidics is flow control. Precise flow measurement and control are essential in order to ensure that reactions occur as intended and that results are reproducible.
Flow-Cytometry
Flow cytometry is a technique used to analyze the physical and chemical properties of cells and particles in a fluid stream. In order to study the properties of individual cells, the cells are typically stained with fluorescent dyes that emit light when exposed to a specific wavelength of light. The cells are then passed through a flow chamber and subjected to a light source (see diagram below). The light source excites the fluorescent dyes, causing them to emit light at a different wavelength. This fluorescence is then detected by a detector, which sends signals to a computer for analysis.

A General Introduction To Microfluidics And Lab On A Chip Devices
The field of microfluidics studies the behavior of fluids flowing through micro-channels, while microminiaturization is concerned with producing devices containing chambers or tunnels that permit fluids to flow through. Essentially, microfluidics is the study of very small volumes of fluids. The smallest unit is the femtoliter (fL), which is a quadrillionth of a liter.
