“…The testbeds can be classified as macro-scale (e.g., [13]) and micro-scale (e.g., [14]) and at the micro-scale a distinction can be made between biological (e.g., [15]) and non-biological (e.g., [16]) setups. A comprehensive overview of MC testbeds can be found in [17], [18]. To properly classify the testbed proposed in this work we will discuss the most related works in more detail in the following [14], [19], [20].…”

In this work, we present a novel portable, flexible and easy-to-use experimental setup for investigating salinitybased information transmission in microfluidic channels. At the receiver, the different salinity-levels are detected by a customized electronic circuit, which measures electrical conductivity via electrodes in the microfluidic channel. We provide a detailed description of the setup, including the microfluidic chip fabrication. Moreover, we develop a rigorous mathematical model of each testbed component and an end-to-end model of the system, which we have verified through experiments. Finally, we analyzed the error performance of the setup using optimum and sub-optimum detection algorithms, such as the Viterbi algorithm and threshold detection.
