Liquid Flow Relationships (LFR) is a high-level hardware description language used to describe microfluidic device architectures. LFR allows users to design microfluidic devices without any knowledge of using CAD software packages. By pairing with platform libraries, LFR can abstract the entire design flow as a high-level description. LFR is modeled after Verilog to enable the users to describe the microfluidic design as relationships between different flow elements, boolean relationships between control elements, and routing capabilities flow elements driven by control elements.
