Slip sliding away : Chemical processes can be executed on microfluidic chips by simply slipping microstructured plates over each other (see picture), like the movement of a valve. This so‐called slipchip device requiring no pumps or valves and was successfully applied to high‐throughput nanoliter screening for protein crystallography and immunoassays.
