...Y. Zhou; F. Amirouche; L. Chen Micropump, an actuation source to transfer the fluid from reservoir to the target place with accuracy and reliability, plays an important role in microfluidic devices. A broad range of micropump applications in biomedical fields are found in the fluid fine regulation...

... by the target protein. In a microfluidic device, we engineer two gold surfaces covered by two known proteins. The sensor allows selective protein detection by being displaced by a target protein on only one of the surfaces. The SPR (Surface Plasmon Resonance) sensorgrams show that three different human serum...

...J. Hanna; T. B. Darr; A. Hubel; C. Mata; E. K. Longmire; D. H. McKenna Microfluidic channels have been proposed as a method for removal of cryoprotective agents from cell suspensions [Fleming, Longmire, and Hubel, J. Biomech. Eng. 129, 703 (2007)]. The device tested consists of a rectangular cross...

...Katie Fleming Glass; Clara Mata; Ellen K. Longmire; Allison Hubel Microfluidics can be used in a variety of medical applications. In this study, a microfluidic device is being developed to remove cryoprotective agents from cells post thaw ( 1 – 150 ml ) . Hematopoietic stem cells are typically...

... temperature set points at each step of the process (denaturing, annealing and elongation). In this work, an innovative microfluidic PCR thermal cycling device is designed to increase the heating∕cooling thermal cycling speed while maintaining a uniform temperature distribution throughout the substrate...

... valves are actuated pneumatically, each chip requires a relatively large pneumatic control system for operation. Fulfilling the great promise of microfluidics, for instance building throwaway, portable, massively parallel, point-of-care diagnostic systems is unlikely until there is a solution...

... of a biosensor that uses giant magnetoresistance (GMR) sensors and a microfluidic system. The bioprobe consists of a 30 bp oligonucleotide, 5 ′ functionalized with a thiol group (T-DNA30) immobilized on a gold surface. Hybridization was tested with a 5 ′ -biotinylated oligonucleotide complementary to T-DNA30...

... circulation from each electrode combined and acted as the mixer in the micropump. The micropump was fabricated 20.2 mm in length, 1 mm in width and 400 μ m in electrode length. To measure accurately, a high speed digital camera was used. 11 06 2008 bioMEMS lab-on-a-chip microfluidics...

... several fluids in terms of compatibility with PCR and fluidic dynamics in a continuous, two-phase flow microfluidic device, and PCR efficiency was assessed quantitatively. The results represent the first step toward rational fluid design for biphasic continuous PCR. Austin , R. H...
