Microfluidics is the field of handling small volume of
fluids and/or manipulating micron-size and submicron-size
particles in a microchannel. Microfluidic devices require only
small amounts of samples and can run the process in a short
period of time. These features have made Microfluidics a
powerful technique in lab-on-chip and biomedical applications.
These microsystems play important roles in tissue engineering,
drug screening, determining the point-of-care diagnoses, and
also generating clinically relevant tumor microenvironment for
cancer studies. The current paper focuses on the studies
conducted on transportation of fluids and particles in small
scale systems. It will also introduce the latest developments of
the microfluidic components and will provide several
biomedical applications of such devices.
