This book delves into the recent developments in the microscale and
microfluidic technologies that allow manipulation at the single and
cell aggregate level. Expert authors review the dominant mechanisms
that manipulate and sort biological structures, making this a
state-of-the-art overview of conventional cell sorting techniques,
the principles of microfluidics, and of microfluidic devices. All
chapters highlight the benefits and drawbacks of each technique
they discuss, which include magnetic, electrical, optical,
acoustic, gravity/sedimentation, inertial, deformability, and
aqueous two-phase systems as the dominant mechanisms utilized by
microfluidic devices to handle biological samples. Each chapter
explains the physics of the mechanism at work, and reviews common
geometries and devices to help readers decide the type of style of
device required for various applications. This book is appropriate
for graduate-level biomedical engineering and analytical chemistry
students, as well as engineers and scientists working in the
biotechnology industry.
