The MNTR Group has recently developed a modular microfluidic architecture for building custom lab-on-a-chip systems. Learn more about it here.
A new book, written by Dr. Chang Liu, entitled "Foundations of MEMS" has been published.
ISBN: 0-13-147286-0.  There is a solution key associated with the book for use by instructors.
