👉 A miniature fluid, often referred to as microfluidics, is a technology that deals with the manipulation and control of extremely small volumes of fluids, typically ranging from nanoliters to microliters. This technology operates at the microscale, where surface tension and other phenomena dominate over gravitational forces, enabling precise control and analysis of fluid behavior. Miniature fluidic devices, or lab-on-a-chip systems, utilize these tiny fluid channels to perform complex biochemical and physical analyses with high efficiency, speed, and minimal sample and reagent consumption. This makes them invaluable in fields such as medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and chemical synthesis, where precision and resource conservation are critical.
