"The global market for microfluidic techonolgies was worth an estimated $2.9 billion in 2005. This figure should grow to $3.2 billion in 2006 and $6.2 billion by 2011, i.e., an average annual growth rate of 14.1% over the next five years." -- Microfluidics Technology, BCC Research, 2006

NIST, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, was founded in 1901 as the nation's first federal physical science research laboratory. The Laboratories at NIST conduct research that advances the nation's technology infrastructure and is needed by the United States

The NIST Chemical Science and Techology Laboratory conducts research in measurement science and develops the chemical, biochemical and chemical engineering measurements, data, models and reference standards that are required to enhance U.S. industrial competitiveness in the world market and to improve public health, safety, and environmental quality.
