Microfluidics is a technology that manipulates small volumes of fluids, typically in the range of microliters to picoliters. It involves the design and fabrication of devices that can control the flow and mixing of these tiny amounts of liquids, often using channels that are only a few micrometers wide. This technology is widely used in various fields, including biotechnology, chemistry, and medical diagnostics. The advantages of microfluidics include reduced reagent consumption, faster reaction times, and the ability to conduct multiple experiments simultaneously. It enables precise control over chemical reactions and biological processes, making it valuable for applications such as point-of-care testing and drug development.
