Focus & Coverage

Biomicrofluidics is an online open-access journal published by the American Institute of Physics to rapidly disseminate research in elucidating fundamental physicochemical mechanisms associated with microfluidic and nanofluidic phenomena as well as novel microfluidic and nanofluidic techniques for diagnostic, medical, biological, pharmaceutical, environmental, and chemical applications. Research areas include, but are not limited to:

• Microfluidic and nanofluidic actuation (Electrokinetics, acoustofluidics, optofluidics and magnetohydrodynamics)
• Wetting, nano-rheology and droplet platforms
• Molecular and bioparticle sorting, manipulation and concentration
• Genomic and proteomic analysis
• Cell culture, manipulation and analysis
• Immunoassay, enzyme analysis and bead-based biosensors
• Pathogen detection and point-of-care diagnostics
• Drug delivery and discovery platforms
• Biomaterials synthesis and tissue engineering
• Fuel and solar cells

With a primary focus on high-quality, original research articles, the journal also will organize special sections that will help elucidate and define specific challenges unique to the interdisciplinary field of biomicrofluidics.
