Capillary Microfluidic Chips for Point-of-Care Testing

Luc Gervais

Research on microfluidic devices for biological analysis has progressed sufficiently to be developed into point-of-care diagnostics products. The goal of this thesis is to improve multiple aspects of capillary-driven microfluidic devices. In particular, th ...

Optical Trapping in Microfluidic Channels for Functional and Chemical Analysis of Single Cells

Michael Werner

The physiological properties of cells are typically investigated in ensembles yielding averaged data that mask heterogeneities present in any cell population. Single-cell analysis techniques based on microfluidic "lab on a chip" (LOC) devices have recently ...

We present techniques and methodologies for the manipulation of magnetic micro- and nanoparticles ('beads') in microfluidic systems. We first introduce the most important forces that act on magnetic particles in a microfluidic system. Starting with the mag ...

We present a method for magneto-microfluidic three-dimensional focusing of magnetic microparticles from a dense plug into a single streamline with longitudinal inter-particle spacing. Plug formation on-chip is induced by a high-gradient magnetic field gene ...

We report on the magnetic actuation of superparamagnetic particles in a microfluidic channel. The formation of a highly confined and dynamic plug of particles extending over the cross section of the microchannel is enabled by superposing a static and a tim ...

Magnetic microparticles and their application in bioanalytical microfluidic systems have been steadily gaining interest in recent years. This progress is fueled by the comparatively large and long range magnetic forces that can be obtained independently of ...

We present a DC magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pump as component of a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) microfluidic chip. This is the first time that MHD pumping in an NMR environment was observed and demonstrated. This chip generates a maximum flow rate of 1.5 ...
