دانلود کتاب Microfluidic devices for biomedical applications

Microfluidic devices are suitable for numerous applications, from drug delivery to tissue engineering. As microfluidic devices can be cheaply made and are small, applications in the medical fields are continually being researched and produced. This important book discusses the fundamentals of microfluidics and provides information on a wide range of medical applications. The first part reviews the fundamentals of microfluidic technologies for biomedical applications with chapters focusing on materials and methods for microfabrication, microfluidic actuation mechanisms and digital microfluidic technologies. Chapters in part two examine applications in drug discovery and controlled-delivery including micro needles while the third section considers applications of microfluidic devices in cellular analysis and manipulation, tissue engineering and their role in developing tissue scaffolds and stem cell engineering. The conclusion covers the applications of microfluidic devices in diagnostic sensing, including genetic analysis, low-cost bioassays, viral detection, and radio chemical synthesis.
