Microfluidics with fluid walls

Thesis

A high variety of microfluidic platforms that aim to miniaturize and automate biomedical assays have been developed in the last decades, but these have failed to be integrated as common equipment in laboratories. This is due to concerns about biocompatibility, issues about the ease of use and the limited range of readouts that the system can accommodate.

This thesis describes a powerful and versatile alternative to conventional microfluidics, in which solid, obscuring walls are r...
