Microfluidic Large Scale Integration
Stephen R. Quake
- 01 Mar 2003
TL;DR: High-density microfluidic chips that contain plumbing networks with thousands of micromechanical valves and hundreds of individually addressable chambers are developed to construct the microfluidity analog of a comparator array and a microfluidsic memory storage device whose behavior resembles random-access memory.
