Flowmetering for microfluidics
Charles Cavaniol, William César, Stéphanie Descroix, Jean‐Louis Viovy
Abstract
appears as a strong challenge. We review herein the different technologies available and those under development, and discuss their sensing principles and industrial maturity. Given the need of traceability of these measurements, we then focus on the developments of primary standards to measure microfluidic flow rates by metrological institutes. We conclude this review with some perspectives and pending challenges for microfluidic flowmeters.
