The recent development of microfluidics has lead to the concept of lab-on-a-chip, where several functional blocks are combines into a single device that can perform complex manipulations and characterizations on the microscopic fluidsample. However, integration of multiple functionalities on a single device can be complicated. This a cutting-edge resource focuses on the crucial aspectsof integration in microfluidic systems. It serves as a one-stop guide to designing microfluidic systems that are highly integrated and scalable. This practical book covers a wide range of critical topics, from fabrication techniques and simulation tools, to actuation and sensing functional blocks and their inter-compatibility. This unique reference outlines the benefits and drawbacks ofdifferent approaches to microfluidic integration and provides a number of clear examples of highly integrated microfluidic systems. INDICE: Introduction. Microscale Physics. Microfabrication Techniques. Microfluidic Sensor Design. Lab-on-a-Chip Integration. Examples of Integrated Microfluidic Systems. References. Index.
