Examples are devices for healthcare diagnostics, in which complex tasks of (bio-)fluid manipulation and detection need to be performed; organ-on-a-chip devices in which suitable micro-environments for multicellular tissue structures need to be created; water quality monitoring chips for continuous detection of bacteria, algae and chemicals; and manipulation of fluids droplets over surfaces. We are developing new technologies for active control of microfluidic flow in these applications. In doing this, we are inspired by nature in which a variety of microfluidic manipulation principles can be recognized. |
