Welcome to Chips & Tips – a unique and regularly updated forum for scientists in the miniaturisation field from Lab on a Chip.  Chips & Tips aims to provide a place where ideas and solutions can be exchanged on common practical problems encountered in the lab, which are seldom reported in the literature.

Do you

• have problems with bubble formation when injecting your sample?
• wish there was a quicker way to make prototypes?
• find connecting chips to pumps and syringes problematic?

Or do you have your own tricks to overcome problems like these?

If so, then Chips & Tips is the forum to address your requirements!  Read the Tips below or see the author guidelines on how to submit your own today.

Chips & Tips is moderated by Glenn Walker (North Carolina State University).
