Students are able to comprehensively describe and evaluate the operation of microfluidic systems for life science applications in particular (for example micro valves, micro pumps and micro mixers). They are able to identify relevant design parameters and design microfluidic system components accordingly. In addition, the students can develop suitable microtechnological approaches to solve fluidic problems.
This module covers the microfluidics concept and its advantages in biomedical analysis. It introduces the dominant physical phenomena in microscale that make microfluidic devices possible and efficient and describes their design rules. It concentrates on the principle of working of the main microfluidic devices using different actuation principles and shows examples on the mathematical modelling and analysis of realized microfluidic components available in the State of the Art literature.
