Centrifugal microfluidics shows a clear trend towards a higher degree of integration and parallelization. This trend leads to an increase in number and density of integrated microfluidic unit operations. The fact that all unit operations are processed by the same common spin protocol turns higher integration into higher complexity. To allow for efficient development anyhow, we introduce advanced lumped models for network simulations in centrifugal microfluidics.
