5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Reference,

This review is from: Fundamentals And Applications of Microfluidics, Second Edition (Integrated Microsystems) (Hardcover)
This is the best all around text I have found on microfluidics. It has a lot of comprehensive informaion on fabrication techniques while still providing all of the necessary theoretical background. It also has a lot of good examples and discussions of many of the common applications of the field. If you get one book on microfluidics, it should be this one.
