microchannel

[DEFINITION]
channel produced by micromachining.(IEC/2015)



[DESCRIPTION]

Microchannels are often used in fluidic devices such as a lab-on-a-chip. The flow in a microchannel is different from that in a macroscopic one, and the formulation of the flow is one of the key issues in micro-science and engineering. A microchannel can be used as an acoustic guide.
