Towards Design Automation for Microfluidic Devices

Description

Microfluidics is a prospective field which provides technological advances to the life sciences and is an enabling technology when it comes to, e.g., biological cell studies, high throughput drug development, and diagnostic screenings. However, the design process of microfluidic devices is still in its infancy and usually accomplished entirely by hand so far–frequently resulting in a “trial-and-error” scheme. In order to overcome this “trial-and-error” approach, we provide a selection of design automation tools as well as simulation methods in this work, which allow for deriving the design, for validating the functionality of the design, and for exploring alternative designs, without the need of an actual fabricated and costly prototype.
