TL;DR: This critical review covers the current state of 3D printing for microfluidics, focusing on the four most frequently used printing approaches: inkjet, stereolithography (SLA), two photon polymerisation (2PP) and extrusion printing (focusing on fused deposition modeling).

TL;DR: One-step fabrication of transparent three-dimensional (3D) microfluidic to millifluidic devices was demonstrated using a commercial 3D printer that employs dynamic mask projection stereolithography, allowing fast concept-to-chip time.

TL;DR: The greatest potential of the microchipSPE device was illustrated by purifying DNA from spores from the vaccine strain of Bacillus anthracis, where eventual integration of SPE, PCR, and separation on a single microdevice could potentially enable complete detection of the infectious agent in less than 30 min.

TL;DR: This review continues to update this series of biennial reviews on developments in the field of on‐line/in‐line concentration methods in capillaries and microchips, covering the period July 2014–June 2016, covering all methods from field amplified sample stacking and large volume sample stacking, through to isotachophoresis, dynamic pH junction, and sweeping.

TL;DR: A direct experimental comparison of the three 3D printing technologies dominating microfluidics was conducted using a Y-junction micro fluidic device, the design of which was optimized for each printer: fused deposition molding (FDM), Polyjet, and digital light processing stereolithography (DLP-SLA).
