WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers in biomedical, environmental testing, geology, manufacturing and other fields could benefit from a patent-pending Purdue University innovation that fabricates ...

In this interview, we speak to France Hamber, CEO of Fluigent, about their microfluidics solutions and how they are allowing scientists to focus more on the science than the setup. After an ...

Stephen Quake, a bioengineer and applied physicist at Stanford University, has always been interested in the interface between physics and biology. During his work at the California Institute of ...

Modern biology is driven by technology, explains Philip J. Lee, Ph.D., co-founder, president, and director of research at CellASIC a five-year-old company that develops microfluidic technologies for ...

Microfluidics refers to the flow of a few microliters of fluids in micrometre-sized channels. For such flows, properties such as surface tension and fluidic resistance dominate how the system behaves.

Researchers use a viscoelastic material flowing through a microfluidic chip to sort E. coli bacteria based on their degree of elongation. By using this 'lab-on-a-chip' device, scientists may be able ...

Now Accepting Applications: 2026 Microfluidics Course! Introduction to Microfluidics Technology is a hands-on laboratory course sponsored by the National Science Foundation’s Bioinspired Soft ...

Schematic of a water-oil immiscible alternative microfluidic experiment conducted under constant differential pressure. The microfluidic chip used is a uniform type with a constant pore structure and ...

Watching proteins move as they drive the chemical reactions that sustain life is one of the grand challenges of modern biology. In recent years, X-ray free-electron lasers, or XFELs, have begun to ...
