<p>The design of customized microfluidic systems using a CAD system (10) is disclosed. In one embodiment, a microfluidic circuit design method (200) is provided. The method includes developing synthesizable computer code for the design. Next, a microfluidic circuit schematic, including a plurality of symbols for microfluidic components, is generated either interactively or using the synthesizable computer code. The microfluidic circuit schematic is then functionally simulated. The microfluidic components are placed and routed (430) on a template to form a physical layout. Then the physical layout (410) is physically simulated (800) using dynamic simulation models of the microfluidic components; and the physical layout is written to a layout file (900).</p> |
