Abstract :
A stable method for manipulating phospholipid microtubes was established. Based on MEMS technology, microfluidic technology, and lipid hydration, a series of phospholipid microtubes, 1 to 10 microns in diameter, were manufactured from dried phospholipid thin film in the microchannel, in an efficient manner.
