Laboratory Methods in Microfluidics

Laboratory Methods in Microfluidics features a range of lab methods and techniques necessary to fully understand microfluidic technology applications. Microfluidics deals with the manipulation of small volumes of fluids at sub-millimeter scale domain channels. This exciting new field is becoming an increasingly popular subject both for research and education in various disciplines of science, including chemistry, chemical engineering and environmental science. The unique properties of microfluidic technologies, such as rapid sample processing and precise control of fluids in assay have made them attractive candidates to replace traditional experimental approaches. Practical for students, instructors, and researchers, this book provides a much-needed, comprehensive new laboratory reference in this rapidly growing and exciting new field of research. - Provides a number of detailed methods and instructions for experiments in microfluidics - Features an appendix that highlights several standard laboratory techniques, including reagent preparation plus a list of materials vendors for quick reference - Authored by a microfluidics expert with nearly a decade of research on the subject

Earned his doctorate in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Wyoming in 2013, where he developed microfluidic ELISA methods as part of his dissertation. Dr. Giri has been conducting research and instructing in the field of microfluidics for the past six years. He is currently a research scientist at Kathmandu Institute of Applied Sciences in Kathmandu, Nepal. His research interests involve developing microfluidics methods for various applications especially suitable for low resource settings
