Microfluidics is a powerful technique for modulating the fluidic behavior of bioparticles in microscale channels and has opened up new avenues for biomedical research and clinical diagnosis. Microfluidics provides numerous advantages over conventional techniques, including requiring only a tiny volume of sample, predictable transport of molecules, and parallel flow enabling high-throughput analysis. Microfluidics is applied in a diverse range of biomedical research activities, such as single-cell analysis, high-throughput microflow cytometry, organ-on-a-chip, and biosensing. Despite being broadly adopted in laboratories for proof-of-concept studies, the deployment of microfluidic technologies in the biomedical industry still has a long way to go. This requires long-term efforts to bridge the gap between technological developments and the needs of end-users. To push forward the transfer of microfluidic technologies to industries, we are launching this themed Collection to encourage researchers to share their latest work that advances microfluidic device design, fabrication, and characterization, as well as studies that demonstrate new applications of microfluidics in biomedical research.
