Industrial Physicist Aug/Sep 2003 Jennifer Ouellette	A new wave of microfluidic devices Flexibility and a variety of uses are the key
Chemistry World January 16, 2007 Michael Gross	Bioassays Work on Paper New analytical techniques with ever smaller volumes, multiple functionalities, and the ability to run masses of assays in parallel, tend to rely on ever more expensive materials and equipment. Chemists have now bucked this trend by developing a bioassay tool that can be printed on paper.
Bio-IT World February 10, 2003 Robert M. Frederickson	Bringing Integrated Circuits to Life Cell-sized biochips mean that channels, pumps, and valves must become minuscule, too.
Chemistry World February 25, 2011 Elinor Richards	Diagnosing diseases with CDs A digital compact disc integrated with a microfluidic device to analyse cells has been developed by scientists in the US. The disc can be inserted into a standard computer disc drive for analysis and could be used to diagnose diseases.
Chemistry World December 16, 2013 Michael Parkin	1024 samples analysed on a single chip Researchers in Switzerland have developed a microfluidic platform able to measure four protein biomarkers in over 1000 blood samples on a single microfluidic chip.
Technology Research News December 3, 2003 Eric Smalley	Biochip puts it all together Researchers have made all manner of microfluidic machines, but have yet to come up with cheap, mass-producible biochips for handheld medical and environmental testing. A simple plastic chip puts the necessary pieces together. The $7 device tests blood samples for the presence of E. coli bacteria.
