They use capillary action, which is a fundamental principle of microfluidics, to draw ink from the reservoir into the nib of the pen. The nib of a fountain pen is made up of a series of tiny ...

Call it the science of small, but a trio of University of Florida chemical engineers have developed a lab-on-a-chip process ...

2 This design integrated these microvalves onto a bilayer PDMS microfluidic chip. Liquid flowed through the bottom channel, while the upper channel sat perpendicular to it. When activated under ...

The company's technology is largely based on Quake's work on microfluidic large-scale integration, using large numbers of valves and channels to perform multiple assays on a single chip.
