Several factors must be considered when designing microfluidic channels:
Channel Dimensions: The width, depth, and length of the channels affect fluid flow and must be optimized for the specific application. Surface Properties: Hydrophilic or hydrophobic surfaces can influence fluid movement and interaction with channel walls. Flow Control: Methods like pumps and valves are essential for precise fluid handling. Integration with Sensors: Incorporating sensors within the channels can provide real-time data on fluid properties and behavior.
