The application of microfluidics to biotechnology is an exciting new area that
has already begun to revolutionize how researchers study and manipulate
macromolecules like DNA, proteins and cells in vitro and within living
organisms. Presenting an enlightening balance of numerical approaches, theory,
and experimental examples, this cutting-edge resource offers keen insight into
this burgeoning field. Supported with over 800 equations and more than 340
illustrations, the book provides a detailed look at the mechanical behavior of
the different types of micro/nano particles and macromolecules that are used in
biotechnology. Engineers, laboratory researchers and students gain a solid
understanding of microfluidics theory and find details on cutting-edge topics
