The application of microfluidics to biotechnology is an exciting new area that has already begun to revolutionize how researchers study and manipulate macromolecules like DNA, proteins, and cells in vitro and within living organisms. Presenting an enlightening balance of numerical approaches, theory, and experimental examples, this cutting-edge resource offers keen insight into this burgeoning field. Supported with over 800 equations and more than 340 illustrations, the book provides a detailed look at the mechanical behavior of the different types of micro/nano particles and macromolecules that are used in biotechnology. Engineers, laboratory researchers and students gain a solid understanding of microfluidics theory and find details on cutting-edge topics not covered in any other book, such as the mechanics of microdrops and digital microfluidics.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Science more than engineering,
By Phil O'Gnosis "Yer Man" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Microfluidics for Biotechnology, Second Edition (Hardcover)
Of the three textbooks I bought for microfluidics, this was the one with the most science and the least engineering. There are extensive simulations of flow but relatively limited discussion of components, devices and applications. It is a good book for learning the principles underlying devices.

This review is from: Microfluidics for Biotechnology (Microelectromechanical Systems) (Hardcover)
The Book "Microfluidics for Biotechnology (Microelectromechanical Systems) " is very helpful to review the fundamental of MEMS with bio molecules. It was shipped very quickly... I recommend to buy this book if you really need to review the topics of MEMS technology which is useful for bio molecules.
Thanks.
