Microfluidics (Microfluidics), which refers to the science and technology involved in systems using microchannels (tens to hundreds of microns in size) to process or manipulate tiny fluids (nanoliters to attoliters in volume), is an emerging interdiscipline of chemistry, fluid physics, microelectronics, new materials, biology and biomedical engineering. Because of their miniaturization, integration, etc., microfluidic devices are commonly referred to as microfluidic chips, also known as Lab-on-a-chips (Lab-on-a-chips) and micro-Total Analytical systems (micro-Total Analytical systems). The early concept of microfluidics can be traced back to gas chromatographs fabricated on silicon wafers by photolithography in the 70 s of the 19 th century, and then developed into microfluidic capillary electrophoresis instruments, microreactors and the like. One of the important features of microfluidics is the unique fluid properties in microscale environments, such as laminar flow and droplets. With these unique fluidic phenomena, microfluidics can achieve a range of microfabrication and micromanipulation that are difficult to accomplish with conventional methods. Microfluidics is currently considered to have great development potential and broad application prospects in biomedical research.
