Microfluidics is a technology that deals with the study of flow of liquids through microscopic channels. It is characterized by control and manipulation of fluids at sub-millimeter scale. It involves design, manufacture and formulation of devices and processes dealing with extremely low volume of fluids.Microfluidics field provides improved control on laboratory handling, analytical techniques and processing. Microfluidics is also referred as lab-on-chip or micrototal analysis assisting in biological and chemical analysis. Currently, microfluidic devices are known to have a wide range of applications apart from pharmaceuticals and life sciences namely, printing, pneumatics, chemical process engineering and power systems. Thus the advantages of adopting microfluidic technologies depend on the various applications for which they are used.
