Opis

Microfluidics is a microtechnological field dealing with the precise transport of fluids (liquids or gases) in small amounts (e.g. microliters, nanoliters or even picoliters). This book provides a useful introduction into this burgeoning field, and a specific application of microfluidics is presented. It also gives a survey of microfluidics.
