An Integrated Multi-Node Microfluidics Facility

拟议设施的建立将增强澳大利亚在微流体研究方面的地位，从而通过突破性科学和前沿技术的进步，为所有国家优先领域，特别是国家优先领域3做出贡献。除了来自参与机构的研究人员外，该基金还将以最低的费用提供给来自非参与机构的其他澳大利亚研究人员。利用拟议设施进行的研究具有巨大的社会经济潜力，包括：研发发展、小规模高技术制造、出口以及改进生化处理和医疗诊断方法。

The establishment of the proposed facility will enhance Australia's position in microfluidics research, thus contributing to all National Priority areas, particularly the National Priority area 3 through advancement in breakthrough science and frontier technologies. In addition to researchers from participating institutions, the Facility will be made available to other Australian researchers from non-participating organisations at minimum cost. The socio-economic potentials of the research carried out using the proposed facility are significant and include: R&D development, small scale high technology manufacture, exports, and improved methods of biochemical processing and medical diagnostics.
