MECs: Building Blocks for Creating Biological and Chemical Instruments

Publishing date: 2016-07-20

Published on: PLOS ONE

summary: Each MEC “building block” performs a fundamental function that is commonly found in biological or chemical instruments, functions like valving, pumping, mixing, controlling, and sensing. Each MEC also has a unique symbol linked to a physical definition, which enables instruments to be designed rapidly and efficiently using schematics.
