Abstract

This lab shows the importance of channel design in biotechnology and nanotechnology and the methods used to study the behavior of fluids as they flow through a channel.  Students will create and test a microfluidic device by creating narrow channels in gelatin, injecting dye in the channel, and observing the fluid flow.
