Microfluidics for Cellular Applications

Microfluidics for Cellular Applications describes microfluidic devices for cell screening from a physical, technological and applications point-of-view, presenting a comparison with the cell microenvironment and conventional instruments used in medicine. Microfluidic technologies, protocols, devices for cell screening and treatment have reached an advanced state but are mainly used in research. Sections break them down into practical applications and conventional medical procedures and offers insights and analysis on how higher resolutions and fast operations can be reached. This is an important resource for those from an engineering and technology background who want to understand more and gain additional insights on cell screening processes. - Outlines the major applications of microfluidic devices in medicine and biotechnology - Assesses the major challenges of using microfluidic devices in terms of complexity of the control set-up, ease of use, integration capability, automation level, analysis throughput, content and costs - Describes the major fabrication techniques for assembling effective microfluidic devices for bioapplications
Biological Applications of Microfluidics

Microfluidics has numerous potential applications in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, the life sciences, defense, public health, and agriculture. This book details recent advances in the biological applications of microfluidics, including cell sorting, DNA sequencing on-a-chip, microchip capillary electrophoresis, and synthesis on a microfluidic format. It covers microfabricated LOC technologies, advanced microfluidic tools, microfluidic culture platforms for stem cell and neuroscience research, and more. This is an all-in-one, hands-on resource for analytical chemists and researchers and an excellent text for students.
Microfluidics for Cellular Applications

Microfluidics for Cellular Applications describes microfluidic devices for cell screening from a physical, technological and applications point of view, giving a comparison with the cell microenvironment and the conventional instruments used in medicine. Microfluidic technologies, protocols, devices for cell screening and treatment have reached an advanced state, but, still, they are mainly used in research and for research purposes. They have not broken into practical applications and conventional medical procedures due to the fact that, most of the time, they are cumbersome to use, unreliable or require complicated or expensive set-ups to be handled. On the other hand, microfluidic devices can offer unique insights and analysis and can reach higher resolutions and fast operations in comparison to conventional medical and biotechnologies. This is an important resource for those from an engineering and technology background to understand more about the microfluidic methods that can be used to gain additional insights into cell screening processes.
