First, they discovered how DNA can move in wavelike patterns on the millimeter scale in microfluidics devices – now they also have found a way of controlling the behaviour. Four researchers connected to NanoLund have presented results that may be useful in several ways: to enhance or suppress the mixing of microfluidics, relevant for medicine and food industry as well as water treatment.
