microfluidics
Type: Concept
As of November 2026, microfluidics has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Berkeley Lab (Jan 2026). Central to the discussion on combining genomic measurements with optical measurements for single-cell analysis.
Microfluidics refers to a system that manipulates a small amount of fluids using small channels with sizes of ten to hundreds of micrometres. It is a multidisciplinary field that involves molecular analysis, molecular biology, and microelectronics. It has practical applications in the design of systems that process low volumes of fluids to achieve multiplexing, automation, and high-throughput screening. Microfluidics emerged in the beginning of the 1980s and is used in the development of inkjet
