Fundamentals and Applications of Microfluidics

This textbook is for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in an introductory course in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), bio-MEMS, or microfluidics. Coverage encompasses technology and applications of microfluidics, with chapter summaries and problems provided. A section on fundamentals starts with an overview of the history of the field, continues with a survey of commercial and scientific aspects, and presents essentials of fluid mechanics theory, fabrication techniques, and experimental flow characterization. The section on applications gives details on external and internal flow control for various devices, and repots on many applications in life science and chemistry. For practicing engineers, the text provides guidelines on device design and on choosing technologies for specific applications guidelines, along with calculation and data tables. This third edition contains new coverage of areas such as microfluidic power sources, 3D culture devices, micro-optofluidics, micro-magnetofluidics, and organ-on-chip and drug delivery systems. The text features b&w diagrams on every page; this edition offers more than 50 new figures.,This textbook is for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in an introductory course in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), bio-MEMS, or microfluidics.
