BACKGROUND Many key global sustainability challenges are closely intertwined
(examples are provided in the figure). These challenges include air pollution, biodiversity …

Recent advances in the lab-on-a-chip field in association with nano/microfluidics have been
made for new applications and functionalities to the fields of molecular biology, genetic …

We demonstrate a high performance microfabricated FACS system with highly integrated
microfluidics, optics, acoustics, and electronics. Single cell manipulation at a high speed is …

Microfluidics and photonics come together to form a field commonly referred to as
'optofluidics'. Flow cytometry provides the field with a technology base from which both …
