Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary scientific field that deals with the precise control, manipulation, and analysis of fluids at a microscale level, typically in microliters to picoliters. Microfluidics integrates principles from diverse disciplines such as physics, engineering, chemistry, and biology to facilitate operations on small volumes of fluids using microfabricated devices featuring channels with dimensions ranging from tens to hundreds of micrometers. Increasing global investments in life sciences research have accelerated the demand for innovative tools and technologies. Microfluidic devices offer advantages such as high throughput screening capabilities and precise control over fluid handling at low volumes, making them attractive tools for researchers. Advances in healthcare infrastructure focusing on precision medicine have also contributed to an increased adoption of microfluidic technologies for diagnostic purposes. However, the complexity associated with designing, fabricating, and integrating microfluidic devices into current laboratory workflows and standardization issues arising due to different fabrication methods significantly impedes the usage of microfluidics. In addition, manufacturers focus on developing wearable diagnostic devices that employ microfluidic technologies to monitor patients’ health in real-time.
Material: Increasing use of glass and silicon-based materials for microfluidic devices
Glass is preferred for microfluidic devices due to its excellent optical transparency properties, high chemical resistance, and biocompatibility. Polymer-based microfluidic devices offer advantages such as lower manufacturing costs, ease of fabrication through techniques, and flexibility in design. Silicon is widely used in microelectronics and is ideal for integrating sensors, actuators, and other microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) components. Silicon-based microfluidics offer advantages such as high dimensional accuracy, low surface roughness, and compatibility with standard semiconductor fabrication processes.
Component: Adoption of microneedles and pumps for minimal risk of infection
Microneedles are minimally invasive devices for various medical applications such as drug delivery, vaccination, and diagnostics. The need-based preference for microneedles is driven by painless drug administration, minimal risk of infection, and reduced tissue damage compared to traditional hypodermic needles. Micropumps are essential in microfluidics, enabling fluid transportation, metering, and mixing at the microscale. Microfluidic chips are the backbone of microfluidic systems, enabling the integration of various components to perform complex fluid manipulation tasks.
Application: Significant application of microfluidic devices in IVD and therapeutics
In-vitro diagnostics (IVD) play a crucial role in healthcare systems by providing information for disease detection, prevention, and management. Microfluidics has revolutionized IVD by enabling rapid analyses and enhanced sensitivity in diagnostic assays with its ability to manipulate small volumes of fluid. Microfluidics has immense potential to streamline pharmaceutical and life science research processes such as drug discovery, cell biology studies, genomics/proteomics analysis, and synthetic biology applications. The advantages of using microfluidic platforms are reduced reagent consumption, faster reaction times, precise control over experimental conditions, and integration of multiple functionalities on a single chip/platform. Microfluidics holds significant potential to revolutionize therapeutics through innovations in drug delivery systems, personalized medicine, regenerative medicine, and tissue engineering. The ability to specifically control fluid flow at the microscale enables the development of novel therapeutic solutions targeting specific cells or tissues, reducing side effects associated with systemic administration.
End User: Emerging use of microfluidics in research organizations and hospitals & diagnostics centers
Academic institutions and research organizations rely on microfluidics to conduct biosciences, material sciences, and chemical engineering experiments. These end users require precise control over fluids, high reproducibility of results, and reduced sample volume consumption. Hospitals and diagnostic facilities benefit from microfluidic technology through point-of-care (POC) diagnostics requiring rapid analysis of biomarkers or other analytes in body fluids. Microfluidics is revolutionizing drug development and manufacturing processes within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
