Working with nanoliter volumes requires specialized devices and techniques capable of precise fluid handling and manipulation. Some key tools and methods used in nanoliter-scale research include: ...

Old-school electrical engineers—and plenty of older research scientists, even biologists like me—remember the days of building circuits from parts: capacitors, resistors, and transistors. The creation ...

Microfluidics is a powerful technique for modulating the fluidic behavior of bioparticles in microscale channels and has opened up new avenues for biomedical research and clinical diagnosis.

UC Davis engineers are developing a device to measure whether immunity to a previous year's flu virus (or from vaccination) will protect against a new variant. Based on a microfluidic chip, the device ...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a fraction of blood plasma; its concentration of platelets is of great value in regenerative medicine as they are essential in accelerating healing and repairing tissue.
