Microfluidic technology has revolutionized the control of flows at small scales giving rise to new possibilities for assembling complex structures on the microscale. We analyze different possible algorithms for assembling arbitrary structures, and demonstr ...
Microfluidic bio-assays have emerged as the most privileged solutions and provide the basis for the realization of miniaturized bio-analytical systems and clinical diagnostic devices that are portable, user-friendly and cost-effective (Lab-on-a-chip). Two ...
This work focuses on trapping subwavelength objects using resonant plasmonic structures. Trapping entities include latex spheres, living cells and metallic particles; the plasmonic structures involved include subwavelength disks, subwavelength apertures, a ...
This thesis mainly deals with the integration of a microfluidic system for the extraction of micrometric and submicrometric particles from a solution. Traditional methods take from several minutes to hours to separate particles from a solution. Microfluidi ...
We present a novel nonenzymatic carbon nanotube sensor integrated in a microfluidic channel for the detection of sugars. The sensor is assembled as a liquid-gated field-effect transistor, with the transistor channel composed of 1 to 10 nanotubes, which are ...
In this paper, we propose a method to create a natively hydrophilic microfluidic structure in a fast and simple way using an UV-curable polymer (NOA 63 from Norland Optics). This polymer can provide a substitute to PDMS microchannels offering high reproduc ...

Polymer particles with micro- and nanoscale anisotropy have received increasing interest for their ability to simultaneously present different physical- and chemical properties. In this communication, we demonstrate that gold nanocrystals (NCs) can be sele ...
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 ...
We propose an original concept to perform a complete on-chip sandwich immunoassay on magnetic nanoparticles that are self-assembled in chains in a uniform magnetic field. The magnetic chains are retained over periodically enlarged cross sections of a micro ...
