ABSTRACT:
The objective of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for education and training in microfluidic technology. The microfluidic system training apparatus includes multiple flow configurations of microfluidic elements all configured and fabricated on a single plate, a microscope and a camera system connected to a monitor or computer, and a computer based control and data acquisition system as a means of controlling and measuring the flow properties. The hands-on experiments with the apparatus of the present invention are designed to provide students with training of varying complexity beginning with basic microfluidic flow system studies to the development of an advanced specific microfluidic flow process or protocol utilizing a variety of the conventional microfluidic elements.
