Microfluidics has the potential to revolutionise the way we live. Imagine portable pocket sized devices for cheap and rapid medical diagnostics and drug delivery. Or miniaturised chemical/biological sensors as early warning detection systems against terrorist threats. The research is thus intended to not only commercially benefit various industries, but also to improve the quality of life as a whole by making medical diagnosis or chemical/biological detection more readily accessible, portable and more efficient. Moreover, the fundamental studies, aimed at generating an understanding of the complex physics involved, has generic benefits to researchers in applied physics as well as providing practical protocols for microdevice development.

微流体技术有可能彻底改变我们的生活方式。想象一下便携式口袋大小的设备，用于廉价和快速的医疗诊断和药物输送。或将化学/生物传感器作为针对恐怖主义威胁的早期预警探测系统。因此，这项研究不仅旨在使各个行业在商业上受益，而且还通过使医疗诊断或化学/生物检测更容易获得、便携和更有效来提高整体生活质量。此外，基础研究，旨在产生所涉及的复杂的物理学的理解，具有通用的好处，研究人员在应用物理学，以及提供实用的协议，微型器件的发展。
