Microfluidics: Modeling, Mechanics and Mathematics

Nano- and Microfluidics: A Practical Guide is a lab-based approach to nano- and microfluidics that provides readers with a wealth of practical techniques, protocols, and experiments that are ready to be put into practice in both research and industrial settings. The practical approach is ideally suited to researchers and R&D staff within the industry. In addition, the interdisciplinary approach to the science of nano- and microfluidics enables readers from a range of different academic disciplines to broaden their understanding. Alongside traditional fluid/transport topics, there is a wealth of coverage of materials and manufacturing techniques, chemical modification/surface functionalization, biochemical analysis, and the biosensors involved. As well as providing a clear-and-concise overview to get started into the multidisciplinary field of microfluidics and practical guidance on techniques, pitfalls, and troubleshooting, this book supplies a set of hands-on experiments and protocols that will not only help users when they are setting up lab experiments, but also provide a quick start reference into practical work. Presents a pracitical guide to the successful design and implementation of nano- and microfluidics processes (e.g. biosensing) and equipment (e.g. biosensors, such as diabetes blood glucose sensors)Provides techniques, experiments, and protocols that are ready to be put to use in the lab or in an acadmeic or industry settingIncludes scientific context and off-the-shelf techniques and experiments
