Microfluidic channel
Definition
Micron-scale channels that enable controlled flow, gradients, and imaging in small volumes; central to BioFlux plate architecture.
Why it matters
For scientific teams:
- Enables fine control of mechanical and chemical environments.
- Supports real-time imaging under flow.
- Reduces reagent consumption.
For decision-makers:
- Improves experimental consistency.
- Enables scalable, parallelized assays.
- Reduces operational costs.
FAQ
Q: Why use microfluidics instead of standard wells?
