Microfluidics is both the science that studies the behavior of fluids through microchannels and the technology of manufacturing microminiaturized devices containing chambers and tunnels through which fluids flow or are confined. 

Due to its use in a wide range of disciplines, including chemistry, biology, medicine, and the physical sciences, microfluidics—the technology of fluid manipulation in channels has recently emerged as a noteworthy new area of study. The creation of lab-on-chip (LOC) devices, which are anticipated to bring about a revolution in the fields of chemistry and biology similar to what integrated circuits did for computing power, is a major driving force behind the field of microfluidic research. Thanks to the incorporation of microfluidic channels and active or passive components, including filters, valves, mixers, and many others, LOCs are microsystems that can combine entire biological or chemical laboratories on a single chip. 

This works station and the staff know how supports the production of microfluidics structures for research purposes.
