👉 A mini-fluid, also known as microfluidics, refers to the manipulation of fluids at extremely small scales, typically ranging from a few micrometers to a few millimeters in size. This field leverages the unique physical properties of fluids in confined spaces, where surface tension, viscosity, and other phenomena become dominant over gravitational forces. Mini-fluid devices are designed to control, mix, transport, and analyze these tiny volumes of fluid with high precision, enabling applications in areas like biomedical diagnostics, chemical synthesis, and environmental monitoring. The miniaturization not only reduces the amount of sample and reagent needed but also enhances reaction rates and sensitivity, making it a powerful tool in various scientific and industrial contexts.
