Microfluidics allows for the miniaturization of laboratory processes onto a compact disc (CD). A microfluidic CD provides a cost-effective, portable and automated diagnostic platform without the use of bulky equipment and complex machinery. This reduction in the cost, footprint, and user input allow...
