Most-cited papers in Micromachines

A Review on Macroscale and Microscale Cell Lysis Methods

Mohammed Shehadul Islam, Aditya Aryasomayajula, P. Ravi Selvaganapathy · 8 Mar 2017

The lysis of cells in order to extract the nucleic acids or proteins inside it is a crucial unit operation in biomolecular analysis. This paper presents a critical evaluation of the various methods that are available both in the macro and micro scale for cell lysis. Various types of cells, the structure of their membranes…

Fabrication Methods for Microfluidic Devices: An Overview

Simon M. Scott, Zulfiqur Ali · 18 Mar 2021

Microfluidic devices offer the potential to automate a wide variety of chemical and biological operations that are applicable for diagnostic and therapeutic operations with higher efficiency as well as higher repeatability and reproducibility. Polymer based microfluidic devices offer particular advantages including those of cost and biocompatibility. Here, we describe direct and replication approaches for manufacturing…

Micromachined Thermal Flow Sensors—A Review

Jonathan T. W. Kuo, Lawrence Yu, Ellis Meng · 23 Jul 2012

Microfabrication has greatly matured and proliferated in use amongst many disciplines. There has been great interest in micromachined flow sensors due to the benefits of miniaturization: low cost, small device footprint, low power consumption, greater sensitivity, integration with on-chip circuitry, etc. This paper reviews the theory of thermal flow sensing and the different configurations and…

A Review on Micromixers

Gaozhe Cai, Xue Li, Huilin Zhang et al. · 11 Sep 2017

Microfluidic devices have attracted increasing attention in the fields of biomedical diagnostics, food safety control, environmental protection, and animal epidemic prevention. Micromixing has a considerable impact on the efficiency and sensitivity of microfluidic devices. This work reviews recent advances on the passive and active micromixers for the development of various microfluidic chips. Recently reported active…

Fabrication of Micro/Nano Structures on Metals by Femtosecond Laser Micromachining

K. M. Tanvir Ahmmed, Colin A. Grambow, Anne‐Marie Kietzig · 20 Nov 2014

Femtosecond laser micromachining has emerged in recent years as a new technique for micro/nano structure fabrication because of its applicability to virtually all kinds of materials in an easy one-step process that is scalable. In the past, much research on femtosecond laser micromachining was carried out to understand the complex ablation mechanism, whereas recent works…

Micromachines template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Micromachines format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Micromachines template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Micromachines use?
Micromachines uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Micromachines 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Micromachines?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Micromachines document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Micromachines template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Micromachines format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Micromachines?
Micromachines - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Micromachines PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Micromachines template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Micromachines template cost?
You can start writing in the Micromachines template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Micromachines PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
