In-Depth Information
Transport mechanisms of micro- and nanoparticles or macromolecules or cells
are at the heart of any biotechnological microdevice. The ultimate goal being the
handling or detection of the smallest possible number of these objects, it is neces-
sary to have very precise control over the particles. This cannot be done in just one
step. Transport by microflows and microdrops constitutes the first step to manipu-
late the particles. Other more specific steps are magnetic and electric methods and
will be presented in the following chapters.
