Descripción

Microfluidics for Cellular Applications describes microfluidic devices for cell screening from a physical, technological and applications point-of-view, presenting a comparison with the cell microenvironment and conventional instruments used in medicine. Microfluidic technologies, protocols, devices for cell screening and treatment have reached an advanced state but are mainly used in research. Sections break them down into practical applications and conventional medical procedures and offers insights and analysis on how higher resolutions and fast operations can be reached. This is an important resource for those from an engineering and technology background who want to understand more and gain additional insights on cell screening processes.
