Microfluidic technologies promise unprecedented savings in cost and time through the integration of complex chemical and biological assays on a microfabricated chip. Recent advances are making elements of this vision a reality, facilitating the first large-scale integration of microfluidic plumbing with biological assays. The power of miniaturization lies not only in achieving an economy of scale, but also in exploiting the unusual physics of fluid flow and mass transport on small length scales to realize precise and efficient assays that are not accessible with macroscopic tools. Diverse applications ranging from time-resolved studies of protein folding to highly efficient protein crystal growth suggest that microfluidics may become an indispensable tool in biology.
