SciViD Collection: Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip

SciViD: Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip is a collection of video preprints on microscale fluid behavior and integrated miniaturized systems. It invites researchers, engineers, students and innovators to share experimental advances and new concepts as video papers, interactive models, animated explanations and video protocols of laboratory methods. Items in this collection are preprints: they are checked against a posting checklist (verified references, clear status labels and disclosed AI use), but they are not peer reviewed.

​

The collection covers a wide range of topics, including droplet-based microfluidics, digital and continuous-flow systems, organ-on-chip devices, microvalves and pumps, electrokinetic and capillary phenomena, biosensing platforms, point-of-care diagnostics and high-throughput screening, at the intersection of biology, chemistry, physics and engineering. Each item states whether its results are experimental or numerical and whether they are established or preliminary.

​

For authors, posting is free. Each item receives a SciViD identifier and a version number and is labeled “Preliminary · Not peer reviewed”; later versions are added with a dated note of changes. Authors who need a DOI can deposit the final version in an open repository such as Zenodo, using the same title and author list and linking to the SciViD page; the SciViD page then shows both identifiers. SciViD does not arrange DOIs for work by authors under 18. SciViD Studio offers free templates for turning your own manuscript into a video; any synthetic voice or AI-generated footage must be disclosed.

​

For readers and viewers, the collection offers a visual way into the mechanisms behind modern lab-on-a-chip systems. Because items are not peer reviewed, please treat them as preliminary work and check the cited sources before relying on their results.
