Synthetic Biology and Tissue Engineering

Microfluidics is an analytical system enabling the processing and manipulation of small amounts of fluids. Microfluidic technology has been a significant attraction for biochemists, biologist, analytical chemists, and others as it has demonstrated a capability to reduce cost and labor and also enhance resolution and precision. A single chip enables high-throughput continuous and batch processing of multiple samples both in series and in parallel. Therefore, it is believed that microfluidics can provide unprecedented approaches for synthetic biology. The advantages offered by miniaturization could be exploited to study the complexity associated with biological systems. Microfluidic tools are especially useful in biological studies for analyzing a large number of samples simultaneously and providing dynamic and controlled micro-environmental conditions.
