Researchers have developed a new rapid prototyping technique for fluoropolymer microfluidic device. This microfluidic device was fabricated by two steps: (1) cutting commercially available ...

(Nanowerk News) Most conventional microfluidic devices are fabricated in inherently planar, block-like devices that can't be changed once fabricated. In contrast, an important feature of naturally ...

One thousand microchannels, each the width of a human hair, can be printed for as little as £0.20. (Courtesy: CC BY 4.0/PLoS ONE 10.1371/journal.pone.0245206) Researchers at the University of Bristol ...

An organ-on-a-chip is a microfluidic device with continuously perfused chambers in which cells are cultured to obtain functional units that mimic organ functions. The organ-on-a-chip stands out as a ...

3D printing is common in professional and academic laboratories as researchers discover innovative uses. Its central function is to quickly create complex 3D structures with great precision. The ...

Numerous types of internal valves or actuation methods have been proposed, but they generally impose difficult compromises between performance and fabrication complexity. In new work (Microsystems & ...

A new microfluidic device that traps individual cells in microscopic hydrogel “apartments” allows the cells to be individually treated and analyzed much more readily than with previous devices (Anal.

This cube was printed with a new technique that allows embedding of droplets of different materials within the structure. These droplets can be used to make 3D printed structures flexible or to give ...
