SUMMARY
The field of microfluidics, which deals with the moving of minute amounts of fluids (in the realm of pico and even nanoliters) through simple or complex arrays of channels, nozzles, pumps, valves, and needles, is making a move beyond inkjet printing. New means of drug delivery, propellant-free aerosols, and fuel cells for consumer electronics have all been developed, with commercial product set to be launched over the course of the next two years. The timely report takes a look at the microfluidics segment (excluding lab-on-a-chip) and the companies, devices, and applications that will benefit most from the years of research in this field. Forecasts of unit shipments and revenues are provided through 2008. TABLE OF CONTENTS
