The invention relates to novel polymer-based microstructures, with outstanding shape accuracy and cost-effective processing. The novel polymers are based on hyperbranched macromolecules and enable remarkable property combination such as reduced shrinkage a ...
This paper presents a new electronic methodology to detect DNA hybridization for rapid identification of diseases, as well as food and environmental monitoring on a genetic base. The proposed solution exploits a new (electrical) capacitive measurement circ ...
This paper presents dramatic improvements in the micro-fabrication of three-dimensional microfluidic channels and high-aspect ratio tunnels within the bulk of a fused silica substrate. We also report the fabrication of optical waveguides within the same su ...
Optical trapping, discovered in the 70's, allows moving and stabilizing small objects which sizes varies from atoms to particles of several microns. This technique, based on momentum conservation, is particularly well suited for manipulating biological mat ...
Manipulating biological samples in microliter droplets has vast potential in molecular diagnostics. We present a system for the two-dimensional (2D) magnetic manipulation of aqueous droplets suspended in silicone oil as a platform for on-chip bioanalysis. ...
The use of probe beads for lab-on-chip affinity assays is very interesting from a practical point of view. It is easier to handle and trap beads than molecules in microfluidic systems. We present a method for the immobilization of probe beads at defined ar ...
Within an ongoing project on controlled single-cell electroporation in microfluidic chips [1], a platform permitting accurate particle and fluid handling is being developed. This paper describes cell immersion as a practical demonstration of that platform. ...
We developed high-density microfluidic chips that contain plumbing networks with thousands of micromechanical valves and hundreds of individually addressable chambers. These fluidic devices are analogous to electronic integrated circuits fabricated using l ...
A microchip structure for field amplification stacking (FAS) was developed, which allowed the formation of comparatively long, volumetrically defined sample plugs with a minimal electrophoretic bias. Up to 20-fold signal gains were achieved by injection an ...
This paper describes the design, fabrication and experimental results of a new, low cost, high-performance silicon micropump developed for a disposable drug delivery system. The pump chip demonstrates linear and accurate (+/-5%) pumping characteristics for ...
