A little bit of history: What is microfluidics?

Microfluidics emerged at the beginning of the 1980s and took advantage of microfabrication technologies used for transistors and microprocessors to handle small amounts of liquids inside micrometer to nanometer scale channels.

In the 2000s, technologies based on molding micro-channels in polymers such as PDMS (PolyDiMethilSiloxane) enabled fast development of microfluidics by allowing rapid prototyping in any research lab.

 

Today, microfluidics is a mature technology that provides efficient tools for multiple research areas, specifically biology research.

How microfluidics can enhance cell biology research?

Microfluidic systems are compatible with microscopy and conventional biology assays.

Applications: Cell culture, live cell imaging, 3D cell culture…

Its micrometer scale is the same as cells’ scale, enabling a fast medium switch.

Applications: Single-cell analysis, calcium imaging, drug response studies…

Microfluidics enable the finest flow control and stable concentration gradients.

Applications: Chemotaxis, shear stress assays, hydrodynamic cell trapping…

Microfluidics easily allows parallelization and thus promotes high throughput screening.

Applications: Drug screening, quantitative cell biology, bioinformatics…
