incorporates pressure driven flow control resulting in a pulseless flow and a

greater responsiveness to manage fluid volume manipulation issues.

4. Embedding microfluidic devices may be possible with the help of Biocompatible

polymers such as PDMS for carrying out biomedical analysis in the forthcoming

years. Microfluidics has immense potential to facilitate single-cell or single-

molecule analysis enabling researchers to organize fundamental investigations

in cell and molecular biology.

5. Novel microfluidic tools cultivated in research labs could be profitably used in

proteomics, genomics, and metal.
