Engineering a Microfluidic Chip for High-Throughput Drug Screening
Quick fact
A single microfluidic chip can run thousands of drug screening experiments simultaneously, using only picoliters of fluid per test—a fraction of the sample required by traditional 96-well plates.
Why this is interesting
Imagine testing 10,000 drug candidates on living cells all in a few hours—using a chip the size of a postage stamp. How do engineers make that possible?
