Biochip makes droplet test tubes Researchers who are developing biochips are taking two distinct approaches in devising ways to shunt tiny amounts of liquids around. One focuses on finding ways to form microscopic channels and tiny mechanical pumps. The other is aimed at using electricity to maneuver tiny droplets on surfaces. |
