Celebrating the 30th anniversary of a pioneering microfluidics paper.

The article discusses the 30th anniversary of a groundbreaking microfluidics paper published in 1993. The paper described a method for creating microfabricated devices for electroosmotic pumping and electrophoretic separation, which helped establish microfluidics as a research field. The paper has been highly influential, with over 1500 citations according to Clarivate's Web of Science. The field of microfluidics has since expanded to include a wide range of materials and applications, and it is expected to continue growing and revolutionizing industries such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, and food safety.
