Quick tips
Microfluidics made simple: Ready to streamline your experiments with smart tips?
Running a microfluidic experiment rarely goes the way the protocol says it will. Bubbles appear where you do not want them, a pump behaves strangely, a recirculation loop starts leaking after two hours. Most of these issues come down to setup decisions made before the experiment even started.
This section gathers short, practical notes written by the team based on what we see happen in the lab. Each tip focuses on one concrete question: which pump fits which application, how to build a reliable recirculation loop, when a peristaltic setup is enough and when it is not, how to approach microfluidics when your background is in biology rather than in engineering.
The goal is not to replace a full tutorial or an application note. It is to give a straight answer to a question you might be asking yourself right now, before you spend a week troubleshooting something that could have been avoided in the first place.
