Microfluidics and Nanofluidics is an international peer reviewed journal exploring all aspects of microfluidics, nanofluidics, and lab-on-a-chip science and technology. The journal seeks to improve the fundamental understanding of microfluidic and nanofluidic processes, examining the current state of research and development and the latest applications. This journal broadly interprets microfluidics and nanofluidics as the study of mass (including molecular and colloidal) and momentum transfer, heat transfer, and reactive processes, coupled with transport in microscale and nanoscale systems. Readers will find reports of original scientific research, techniques, and applications. In addition, the journal publishes brief communications presenting urgent announcements of significant advances or preliminary accounts of new work and topical reviews summarizing accepted practices and reporting progress in selected areas.

Inertial migration of particles to a characteristic lateral equilibrium position in laminar micro-flows has been investigated under various aspects during the last decades. The majority of the studies deal with the equilibrium position of rigid particles and viscous droplets. Here, we compare the equilibrium velocity of viscoelastic cells and rigid polystyrene spheres in flow by applying the method...

We present a simple and facile method for long-term preservation of hydrophilicity of oxygen plasma-hydrophilized poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) by cold storage. We show that storage under temperature of − 80 °C can maintain superhydrophilicity of plasma-exposed PDMS for at least 100 days. Storage at − 15 °C and at 22 °C room temperature (RT) is shown to exhibit, respectively, about half and full...

We present a flexible and noninvasive approach for efficient continuous micromixing and microreaction based on direct current-induced thermal buoyancy convection in a single microfluidic unit. Theoretically, microfluids in this microsystem are unevenly heated by powering the asymmetrically arranged microheater. The thermal buoyancy convection is then formed to induce microvortices that cause effective...
