mLSI design with MINT

Abstract

Fluigi is a microfluidic design framework that allows researchers to realize abstract descriptions of liquid flow relationships automatically as physical devices and corresponding control software. Its goal is to provide synthetic biology researchers with the tools to use microfluidics for novel computation, discovery, and test applications. A critical component of this work-flow is MINT, a format for describing the microfluidic components and the connectivity of the control and flow layers in the microfluidic device. This work describes MINT and where it falls in the larger Fluigi software flow in design mLSI system for Synthetic Biology
