A Review of Droplet-Sequencing
Cells, the building blocks of tissues, organs, and organisms, vary broadly in type and state. Today, the lack of information about cellular diversity in complex tissues leads researchers to find [more...]
Microrheology-A Review
Microrheology is a technique used to measure the rheological properties, such as viscosity and viscoelasticity of a material, whether liquid, “soft solids” or solids. This science gathers several techniques aiming to [more...]
Microfluidic Cell Culture
Microfluidics Microfluidics technology is characterized by the manipulation of small volumes of fluids (10-9 to 10-18 liters) in channels with dimensions of tens of micrometers. Certain properties of microfluidic technologies [more...]
Air Bubbles and Microfluidics-Elveflow Tutorial
Air bubbles are among the most recurring issues in microfluidics. Because of the micrometric dimensions of the tubes and channels, air bubbles can be very difficult to remove and be [more...]
Particles Move to the Beat of a Microfluidic Drum
A thin vibrating plate can organize microscopic particles within a liquid into different patterns, an effect like that observed in 18th century studies of musical instruments. Figure 1: (Top) When [more...]
