Synopsis

The application of microfluidics to biotechnology is an exciting new area that has already begun to revolutionize how researchers study and manipulate macromolecules like DNA, proteins, and cells in vitro and within living organisms. Presenting an enlightening balance of numerical approaches, theory, and experimental examples, this cutting-edge resource offers keen insight into this burgeoning field. Supported with over 800 equations and more than 340 illustrations, the book provides a detailed look at the mechanical behavior of the different types of micro/nano particles and macromolecules that are used in biotechnology. Engineers, laboratory researchers and students gain a solid understanding of microfluidics theory and find details on cutting-edge topics not covered in any other book, such as the mechanics of microdrops and digital microfluidics.
