| Microfluidics
Microfluidics combines the disciplines of physics, chemistry, engineering
and biotechnology to study the behavior of fluids at volumes thousands
of times smaller than a common droplet. SemiProbe systems are used to
test microfluidic systems such as the “lab-on-a-chip” devices
that can process microliter and nanoliter volumes and conduct highly sensitive
analytical measurements. Similar to microelectronics production and testing,
microfluidic technologies enable the fabrication of highly integrated
devices performing multiple functions on the same chip.
Some Common Applications:
- MEMS
flow concentrators for sensing and processing tiny amounts of liquids
and gases, micropumps
- Capillary Electrophoresis
on glass slides
- Medical DNA, blood analysis,
Influenza, and drug delivery
- IC thermal management
- Microchip electrochemistry
- Lab-on-a chip
