Fundamentals of modern microfluidic devices with applications to bio-medical measurements, e.g., electrophoretic systems, flow cytometers, and immunoassays. Review of fundamental properties of microfluidic systems including the effects of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and elec-tromagnetic phenomena on biological systems. Theory of Navier-Stokes, Nerst-Planck and convection transfer equations will be discussed. Criti-cal overview of design, manufacture, and operation of micrometer scale systems that use photolithographic and surface treatment techniques for device development. Special projects will also be used to analyze bio-medical inventions on the horizon.
