Bionanotechnologists from Wageningen University have developed a new, inexpensive way to make microfluidic devices without using costly materials or cleanroom facilities. The technique, which uses a 3D printer and Lego plastic, is called ESCARGOT. The inventors have demonstrated the principle and its possibilities in a short video. The most important questions about the new technique are answered below.
