Microfluidics Devices and Applications Quiz

Microfluidics

• Dominant phenomenon in microfluidics is laminar flow
• Device used for micro-scale manipulation and transportation of fluids is microfluidic device

Advantages of Microfluidic Devices

• Enables efficient mixing and reaction due to high surface-to-volume ratio
• Allows for precise control over fluid flow and temperature
• Requires minimal sample volume, reducing reagent consumption and waste generation
• Enables rapid analysis and detection of biomolecules and cells

Heat and Mass Transfer

• High mass and heat transfer rates in microfluidics are enabled by laminar flow
• Laminar flow facilitates efficient heat and mass transfer, enhancing overall efficiency

Micro-Separator

• Purpose of a micro-separator in microfluidics is to separate components of a mixture based on their physical or chemical properties
