Abstract :
The possibilities envisioned by the characterization of microfluidic systems cover a wide range of both scientific demands and industrial requirements, from life sciences to fine chemistry, from food quality to other microbiology applications. In these fields, the development of analytical methods and technological solutions oriented to the creation of a firm and structured link between models and experimentation on microfluidic systems, opens up the way for the study and characterization of microfluidic devices and phenomena from a point of view related to system and control theory.
