PRODUCT DATASHEETDESCRIPTION
4 Educational Packages are available depending on the type of learning:

Educational Package - First level - Co-flow

A beginner package to discover microfluidics by experimenting visually apillar concept of microfluidics: laminar flows.
Suited for: biologists, (bio)engineers, chemists, but also for high schools
with scientific program.
1 hour guided experiments.

Educational Package - First level - Resistance

Master and take advantage of one powerful tool for optimizing yourmicrofluidic experiments: the hydrodynamic resistance.
Suited for: physicists, (bio)engineer and fresh microfluidic users
1 hour guided experiments.

Educational Package - Second level - Co-flow &Resistance

Co-flow and resistance in a all in one package for a first overview on
microfluidics.
Suited for: (bio)engineers, physicists, chemists
2 hours guided experiments.

Educational Package - Full course - Co-flow,Resistance, Droplets

Get the most complete overview, with experiments pushed to real-world
applications: droplet generation.
Suited for: (bio)engineers, chemical engineering, physicists, biologists andresearchers
4 hours guided experiments
Content from the Co Flow & Resistance Package.

Each package comes with a specific and complete microfluidic setup,a theoretical handbook on microfluidics, practical works with solutions,and accessories.

PRODUCT DATASHEETThe theoretical handbook
The handbook is a 4 hours theory manual that allows to give an overview of microfluidic
principles, and introduces the main concepts of microfluidics. It is common to all
Educational Packages.
Introduction to microfluidics: History - applications
Microfluidic systems: Microfluidic chips - Flow controllers
Laminar flow: Laminar flow and diffusion definitions & theory – Mixing in microfluidics
Hydrodynamic resistance: Definition & Theory - Hydraulic-electric analogy
Droplet microfluidics: Droplet generation physics - Designs for generating droplets Surfactants - Particle(s) encapsulation
Going further: particle encapsulation: Poisson law for precise cell encapsulation Example
