What's Next For Microfluidics?

Posted April 26, 2009 8:00 AM

In an online RSC Publishing interview, University of California (UC) Irvine Professor Abraham Lee gives his take on the fundamentals of microfluidics and nanofluidics systems and devices, and provides his insight into the search for the next killer application. Lee defines microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip (LOC) and addresses what the future holds for the microfluidics sector.

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from MEMS Technology, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to MEMS Technology today.

The Abe Lee interview is great. A killer app for microfluidics has been elusive for years, but I wonder if things might be about to change. Fluidigm's systems seem to be gaining momentum, gaining use in major, respected biology labs. For more on commercialization of microfluidics, this summer Holger Becker has also been writing a series in Lab on a Chip.
