Microfluidics technologies, at first the domain of engineers and chemists, are now being utilized by biologists in the fields of organ culture, bio sensing, diagnostics and biosynthesis, among other applications. The required expertise and cost of the use of this technology, however, are barriers of entry to researchers and students. Our laboratory has developed alternative fabrication platforms to make microfluidics widely and easily available in the research laboratory and the STEM classroom.
