Advancements In Microfluidics For Biotechnology Applications Pranav Agrawal by Pranav Agrawal instant download after payment.

Microfluidic technology has made a huge impact in the field of biotechnology and
life sciences. The advancements can be categorized into three aspects: understanding of
physical phenomena at the microscale; development of tools for easy integration of
different phenomena; and devising systems for various applications. This thesis highlights
the ability of microfluidic technology in manipulating different biological entities by
fabricating small feature sizes. In particular, we have focused on the development of new
processes for three biotechnology applications – (i) long DNA sample preparation for
genomic; (ii) delivery of genetic delivery vehicles for gene and cell therapy; and (iii) an in
vitro model to study human gut. Each of these systems is developed in close collaboration
with potential users and is aimed towards easy integration with the existing workflow.
