“…Microfluidics, a technology that manipulates fluids at small scales (typically from 10 –8 to 10 –18 liters) in narrow (10 –6 to 10 –8 meters) channels, provides engineered and integrated platforms for chemical, biotechnological, and biological analysis applications . The development of fabrication techniques to produce polymeric devices in the late 1990s opened a new paradigm in micrototal analysis systems (μTAS) and lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology, especially for biological applications including chemotaxis, − cell biophysics, , DNA sequencing, − and cell culture assay. − Besides benefits from a small volume, for example, low sample consumption, fast analysis, and low cost, microfluidics offers possibilities for high-throughput and combinatorial analysis by parallelization, automation, and integration with gradient generators, ,,,,− sensors, , and actuators. ,,,,− Also, microfluidic devices coupled with various micro/nano-patterning , and surface modification techniques enabled to mimic and study fundamental cellular processes, including cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Recent technical development in multilayer device fabrication to construct 3D models offered new tools that resemble complex microenvironments in nature for studying physiological processes. − In this chapter, section will review microfluidic HTS approaches that have been developed to improve efficiency and accuracy of data collection and analysis, and section will outline microfluidic systems to recreate physicochemical stimuli and physiological/biomimetic microenvironments for screening cell–material interactions.…”
