Microfluidic Devices

Microfluidics is both the science which studies the behavior of fluids through micro-channels, and the technology of manufacturing microminiaturized devices containing chambers and tunnels through which fluids flow or are confined. Microfluidics deal with very small volumes of fluids, down to femtoliters (fL) which is a quadrillionth of a liter. Fluids behave very differently on the micrometric scale than they do in everyday life: these unique features are the key for new scientific experiments and innovations. By leveraging the unique properties of fluid behavior at these scales, microfluidic devices enable precise control over chemical and biological processes. This technology is widely used in applications such as lab-on-a-chip systems for diagnostics, where it can rapidly analyze blood, saliva, or other biological samples. It’s also essential in drug development for high-throughput screening, organ-on-a-chip models that simulate human physiology, and environmental monitoring. The ability to perform complex assays with minimal reagents and short turnaround times makes microfluidics a powerful tool. The key concept related to microfluidics is to integrate in a simple micro-sized system operations that commonly require a whole laboratory. WPI offers the ElveFlow line of microfluidic products, including sensors, valves, reservoirs, pressure/vacuum sources, pressure pumps, a variety of accessories and more.
