Stanford Engineering Puzzle
Stephen Quake is a physicist-turned-bioengineer with a strong interest in the dynamics of single molecules. This interest has led him to develop microfluidic chips, circuits of silicone pipes, valves and chambers. These devices are called “labs on a chip” because they allow for complex biology experiments to be conducted all within the space of a coin. The experiments often run better and require far fewer materials. Directions for puzzle: In this puzzle your job is to route the constituents of an experiment from one chamber to another in a simplified version of a chip.
