Microfluidics
The movement of liquids through micro-fabricated structures by means of electrical
fields or pressure/vacuum, holding the promise of greater functionality with significantly
improved reliability:
• small glass or plastic devices with micro-channels as experimental platform
• active control of fluids without moving parts on-chip through miniature electrodes or
pumps controlled by software scripts
• emulation of conventional liquid pumps, valves, dispensers, reactors, separation
systems, etc.
• capability of liquid transfer, separation, dilution, reactions and more
Molarity
where:
Molarity is measured in nanomoles per liter (nmol/l)
Concentration is measured in nanograms per microliter (ng/µL)
Size is measured in base pairs (bp)
is the molecular weight of a single base pair
