microfluidic devices for C. elegans research
Also known as: microfluidic devices, microfluidics
Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
Microfluidics has emerged as a set of powerful tools that have greatly advanced some areas of biological research, including research using C. elegans... provide guides for the design, fabrication, and use of microfluidic devices for C. elegans research studies.
