Biological analysis techniques often gain benefit from miniaturization due to the rich variety of chemical
and physical tools that become available and the ability to analyze very small sample volumes.

perfused with water at lower left to remove salts. Dialysis membranes of various porosities can
be photopatterned at various locations in microdevices.
