چکیده
This paper introduces to the fast system simulation approach for droplet-based microfluidics and its validation. Full custom centric design means the integration and functional combination of microfluidic operation units, such as sample droplet generation, dosing or mixing to a complete Lab-on-a-Chip system. Comparable to large scale integration in EDA a fast simulation for droplet-based microfluidic systems is necessary to prevail in the face of their raising complexity by establishing microfluidic design automation. The design process can be greatly enhanced by our fast network simulation that relies on beha vioral models of the basic microfluidic operation units and their combined effect on the overall behavior.

Society deems largess in the affirmative; the more money the better; the larger the house the grander; the bigger the bicep the stronger. The world of scientific discovery, invention, and development is, on the contrary, moving counter to this belief. Need for high throughput methods requiring small quantities of material have prompted the design and development of instruments with novel platfo...
