Micro-Drops and Digital Microfluidics (Micro and Nano Technologies) - Hardcover
Book 14 of 393: Micro and Nano Technologies
Synopsis
In this 2nd edition of Micro-Drops and Digital Microfluidics, Jean Berthier explores the fundamentals and applications of digital microfluidics, enabling engineers and scientists to design this important enabling technology into devices and harness the considerable potential of digital microfluidics in testing and data collection.
This book describes the most recent developments in digital microfluidics, with a specific focus on the computational, theoretical and experimental study of microdrops.
Unique in its emphasis on digital microfluidics and with diverse applications ranging from drug delivery to point-of-care diagnostic chips, organic synthesis to microreactors, Micro-Drops and Digital Microfluidics meets the needs of audiences across the fields of bioengineering and biotechnology, and electrical and chemical engineering.
- Authoritative reporting on the latest changes in microfluidic science, where microscopic liquid volumes are handled as ""microdrops"" and separately from ""nanodrops."
- A methodical examination of how liquid microdrops behave in the complex geometries of modern miniaturized systems and interact with different morphological (micro-fabricated, textured) solid substrates
- A thorough explanation of how capillary forces act on liquid interfaces in contact with micro-fabricated surfaces
- Analysis of how droplets can be manipulated, handled, or transported using electric fields (electrowetting), acoustic actuation (surface acoustic waves), or by a carrier liquid (microflow)
- A fresh perspective on the future of microfluidics

Review
Digital Microfluidics enables the testing of minute fluid samples without the need for pumps or pipes. The result of this is increasingly powerful ‘lab-on-chip’ devices with a lower manufacture cost. Applications range from microreactors (chemical engineering) to drug delivery and the testing of minute biological fluid samples
