Abstract

A microfluidic device was developed for rapid determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics against bacteria. A small volume of sample solution was introduced into multiple chambers simultaneously, and the growth of bacteria was quantified using a noninvasive three-dimensional (3D) visualization technique.
