Abstract
The field of microfluidics is maturing slowly but steadily and new products are entering the market, showing a bewildering number of technologies and formats. This article states the need for standards for microfluidic interconnections, chip dimensions and a vocabulary. It also explains where and why those standards might be useful. A description of the ongoing standardization activities is given and the need for further work is explained.
