Study Notes
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
