Microfluidics consist of microfabricated structures for liquid handling, with cross sections in the 1–500 μm range and small volume capacity (femtoliter to nanoliter). Capillary tubes connected with fittings,(1) although utilizing small volumes, are not considered microfluidics for the purposes of this paper since they are not microfabricated. Likewise, millifluidic systems made by conventional machining tools are excluded due to their larger feature sizes (> 500 μm).Though micromachined systems for gas chromatography were introduced in the 1970s,(2) the field of microfluidics did not gain much traction until the 1990s.(3) Silicon and glass were the original materials used, but then the focus shifted to include polymer substrates, and in particular, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Since then the field has grown to encompass a wide variety of materials and applications. The successful demonstration of electrophoresis and electroosmotic pumping in a microfluidic device provided a nonmechanical method for both fluid control and separation.(4) Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) enabled sensitive detection of fluorophores or fluorescently labeled molecules. The expanded availability of low-cost printing allowed for cheaper and quicker mask fabrication for use in soft lithography.(5) Commercial microfluidic systems are now available from Abbott, Agilent, Caliper, Dolomite, Micralyne, Microfluidic Chip Shop, Micrux Technologies, and Waters, as a few prominent examples. For a more thorough description of the history of microfluidics, we refer the reader to a number of comprehensive, specialized reviews,(3, 6-11) as well as a more general 2006 review.(12)
