Establishment of temperature control scheme for microbioreactor operation using integrated microheater

This paper presents design and fabrication of a microbioreactor platform, and implementation of two temperature control methods (i.e. on-off and PID) and their performance evaluation on the microbioreactor platform (working volume ~300 µL). The temperature of the microbioreactor content is controlle...
