Optofluidics

Optofluidics is a research and technology area that combines optics and fluidics to manipulate light and fluid properties on a chip scale.

It has applications in many areas, including:

• Lab-on-a-chip devices: Miniature systems that can analyze and sort particles and cells 
• Biosensors: Small-scale, high-performance optical biosensors that can detect single molecules and analyze cells 
• Displays: Transparent displays that can be dynamically controlled 
• Energy: Optofluidics can be used in battery and storage technologies to track lithium organic chemistries
