Microfluidics 2nd Edition

Microfluidics, 2nd Edition by Bastian E. Rapp is a definitive, up-to-date guide that immediately draws in engineers, researchers, and graduate students seeking practical mastery of microscale fluid handling. Clear, authoritative, and richly illustrated, this edition expands on foundational theory while mapping the latest advances in applications from diagnostics to chemical synthesis.

You’ll find concise explanations of core principles—laminar flow, scaling laws, surface forces—and hands-on coverage of fabrication methods, materials selection, and flow-control strategies. Updated chapters explore droplet microfluidics, digital microfluidics, integrated sensors, and microreactors, linking theory to industry-relevant problems. Emphasis on modeling and experimental design helps readers translate simulation results into reproducible lab setups.

Practical case studies and real-world examples make complex topics accessible: point-of-care diagnostics, single-cell analysis, continuous-flow synthesis, and environmental sampling are presented with design criteria and troubleshooting tips. The book balances rigorous equations and visual schematics with applied guidance, making it ideal for multidisciplinary teams in academia and industry across Europe, North America, and Asia.

If you need a reference that bridges classroom learning and hands-on development, this 2nd Edition delivers—streamlining device design, accelerating prototyping, and informing regulatory-aware product development. Whether you’re a microfabrication novice or an experienced microsystems engineer, Rapp’s clear pedagogy and contemporary content will sharpen your skills and inspire new projects.
