Abstract
Microfluidics technology is growing field emerged late 1950. It became popular passing through different historical events, contributing to the inception and growth of the field. From the beginning of inkjets to current enormous medical and industrial applications. It focus on handling fluids in the micro, Nano, Pico even femto liter level through utilizing the physical properties they exhibit while miniaturized. According to our study class of materials are available for microfluidics device fabrication and there are factors to consider in application specific design and microfabrication. In microfabrication technique, we can implement lithography, laser induced selective etching, powder blasting and molding found for fabrication. The medical and research application of microfluidics devices includes Cardiovascular System, Respiratory system, Nervous System, Digestive+Excretory System, Endocrine System, Integumentary System, cell culturing and preparation of scaffolds, therapeutics, diagnostics and preventive system. Multiples channels of biomaterials, which is biocompatible platforms to regenerate and rehabilitate Physiological and pathological conditions of complex tissues and organs. The aim of this paper is to present a paper reviewing on material selection, microfluidics fabrication, medical application and suggesting future prospects of the fields and possible microfluidics device implementation in biomedical field.
