  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cell Analysis on Microfluidics

Part of the book series: Integrated Analytical Systems ((ANASYS))

Abstract

A rapid development has been witnessed since the birth of this miniaturized analytical equipment about forty years ago. And microfluidics, a discipline studying the manipulation and analysis of micro volume sample is also attracting the attention of academics with the annually increasing publications. At present, microfluidic device has become a powerful platform with diverse functions implicated in the fields of cellular biology, environmental study, food safety monitoring and micro synthesis, and has crossed the barrier of academic study into the daily life of normal customers. In this chapter, we will focus on several aspects concerning the design and fabrication of microfluidic devices, such as the development of device material, different methods of chip fabrication and functional units to realize purpose of intention. And in the end of this part, a brief future perspective is given to evaluate the potential applications of microfluidic device, especially with other portal devices like smart phone.
