Introduction to Microfluidics

Description

Microfluidics is a young discipline, which enables scientists and engineers to handle fluids in the biochips of the future. The book is an introduction to this discipline. It represents in simple terms the most important notions of the domain: how fluids move on the chip, conveying materials, molecules, electrical charges and heat.
