Flow Control in Microfluidics
Nov 28th 2017
A short comparison of the most widely used methods of microfluidic flow control
Microfluidics broadly encompasses the tools and techniques used to manipulate and monitor volumes of fluid on the microscale. Arguably the two most integral parts of any microfluidic setup are the microfluidic device, on

Microfluidic chips: a quick overview
Nov 27th 2017
What is a microfluidic chip?
Microfluidics designates the science but also the techniques behind flow managing at the micro-scale. At these sizes, fluids' dynamics radically changes compared to everyday life: for instance, water streams are laminar, meaning that they do not mix or form vortexes

Shear stress: Are you working with the wrong flow rate?
May 11th 2017
Introduction
Knowing the real flow rate is an important matter in microfluidic research to avoid experimental errors and get the most accurate results. During an experiment, an error on the actual flow rate in the channels can have an impact on different levels, including on shear stress. Shear str
