Droplet Based MicrofluidicsMicrofluidic devices are currently capable of producingthousands of mono-disperse drops of volumes rangingfrom nanoliters to picoliters. This exquisite capability hasthe potential to revolutionize biotechnology and diseasediagnostics by enabling faster throughput and multi-parameter screening at single cell/biomolecule resolution.

The potential benefits ofthese microfluidic viscometers include operation with smallsample volumes ranging from nanoliters to microliters andaccess to shear rates not achievable by conventionalrheometry. For biological fluids such as blood, the microfluidicformat also enables measurements to be made in conditionsmimicking blood flow in microvessels. Finally, the microfluidicviscometers have thepotential to be multiplexed for highthroughput analysis.
