Researchers developed a microfluidic chip with 3D-printed microstructures that moves droplets precisely, captures cells efficiently, and quickly forms cell spheroids for improved lab-grown tissue ...

Acoustofluidics offers advantages over other microfluidics methods, such as low cost, simplified designs, and remote droplet manipulation. These are especially relevant for applications like ...

Tsukuba, Japan—As science races toward automation and quick experiments, it is sometimes required to concurrently handle small amounts of liquids (droplets), from picoliters to microliters. Moreover, ...

Schematic of a water-oil immiscible alternative microfluidic experiment conducted under constant differential pressure. The microfluidic chip used is a uniform type with a constant pore structure and ...

Microfluidic approaches offer several benefits over their standard molecular biology counterparts. The most obvious benefit is decreased sample volume (which results in decreased waste volume), but ...

Controlled light masking and tuned platinum catalysts make it possible to volumetrically 3D print silicone devices with open channels, eliminating molds and reducing fabrication time to minutes.
