1、Microfluidic systems are widely used in procedures such as capillary electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, immunoassays, flow cytometry, sample injection in mass spectrometry, PCR amplification, DNA analysis, separation and manipulation of cells, and cell patterning.

2、Microenvironmental control: ranging from mechanical environment to chemical environment

3、Antibiotic resistance: microfluidic devices can be used as heterogeneous environments for microorganisms.

4、Diagnostic uses of microfluidics include cancer and pathogen detection.

5、Force measurements of adherent cells or confined chromosomes: objects trapped in a microfluidic device can be directly manipulated using optical tweezers or other force-generating methods
