Recent advances in microfluidics and Microsystems for life sciences are impacting chemistry, biophysics, molecular and cell biology, and medicine for applications that include DNA analysis, drug discovery, disease research, and biofluid and environmental monitoring. This title serves as a reference for technologies and applications in multidisciplinary areas, with an emphasis placed on quickly developing or new emerging areas to include digital microfluidics, nanofluidics, papers-based microfluidics, and cell biology. It will offer practical guidance on how to design, analyze, fabricate and test microfluidic devices and systems for a wide variety of applications including separations, disease detection, cellular analysis, DNA analysis, proteomics and drug delivery. Calculations, solved problems, data table and design rules are provide to help researchers understand microfluidic basic theory and principles, as well as apply this knowledge to their own unique designs. This book provides chemists, biophysicists, engineers, life scientists, and members of the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector with an applied understanding of the principles behind the design, manufacture, and testing of life sciences microfluidic systems. Provides calculations, solved problems, data tables and design rules to help to understand microfluidic basic theory and principles Gives an applied understanding of the principles behind the design, manufacture and testing of microfluidic systems Emphasizes on quickly developing and emerging areas including digital microfluidics, nanofluidics, papers-based microfluidics and cell biology
