I explain it by using inkjet printers because they use the same technology and everyone knows how they work, everyone has one at home. The absolute control over the flow of ink is sen by the quality of the finished page after printing is completed. The printer is able to exaclty control the flow of several ink supplies at the same time to precisly put one colour over the next, with no overlap which would be seen as a smudge. Virology uses a very similar machine, but instead of having ink in the cartridge, virologists put the sample in the cartridge, and the viral printer puts one tiny drop, which is so small that it can only contain a single virus, into each test tube. This is how virology uses microfluidics to isolate a single virus directly from the sample, without culturing it first. Maybe you could use this method of explanation for microfluidics if an enquirer is not understanding how the information is applied in real life?
