The CSIR is developing a new technology, broadly referred to as microfluidics, which deals with the behaviour, precise control and manipulation of fluids - with applications in areas such as micro fuel cells, disease detection, chemical and pharmaceutical production. Microfluidics is the science and engineering of systems and devices for manipulation of fluid, in nano and picolitre ranges
