Abstract
Microfluidic systems provide many advantages for biological studies, such as rapid and precise control of the cellular microenvironment, multiplexed analysis and integration of multiple experimental steps on a single platform. This chapter reviews major recent microfluidic applications in bionanotechnology, including microfluidic bioreactors, microbial strain development, microbial behavior and single-cell studies. Additionally, recent applications of microfluidics in common molecular biology methods such as nucleic acid amplification and DNA microarrays are discussed.
