Microfluidic systems have become an attractive platform for diagnostic applications. The technology not only allows drastically decreased assay volumes (down to picoliters), but also accelerates sample processing and readout. In this article we give an ove ...
This paper reports on the localized expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in a cell population on a micron-scale. Thermal stimulation was realized by micro heaters on cells in microfluidic channels to investigate cell-cell interactions with precise temp ...
The research areas of tissue engineering and drug development have displayed increased interest in organ-on-a-chip studies, in which physiologically or pathologically relevant tissues can be engineered to test pharmaceutical candidates. Microfluidic techno ...
We demonstrate data storage on glass/silicon microfluidic devices fabricated using parylene-C as a bonding layer. In particular, we report intermediate parylene-C bonding layer fluorescence (iPBLF) and its use as an on-chip medium for data storage by dynam ...
Biomarker analysis is playing an essential role in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction. Quantitative assessment of immunohistochemical biomarker expression on tumor tissues is of clinical relevance when deciding targeted treatments for cancer patie ...
The concept of a reconfigurable optical leaky-wave antenna (LWA) based on microfluidics technology is presented. The host waveguide is composed of a microfluidic channel which is periodically loaded by a set of silicon corrugations. The refractive index of ...
Pressure lies at the basis of operation of most microfluidic systems, and is a determinant factor in the extent of miniaturization and in limiting the throughput and time constant of the microfluidic assays. Despite the apparent importance given to fluidic ...
Contamination of drinking water with arsenic is a recurring problem in both industrialized and developing countries. Supplies for large populations can have concentrations much higher than the permissible levels, set by the World Health Organization (WHO) ...
We report the flow-based in situ patterning of multiple proteins in microfluidic channels by simply tuning the actuation pressure of a microfluidic button-membrane. We show that a single button-membrane can pattern several concentric protein annuli, and we ...
We propose a concept for enhancing the fluorescent detection signal of on-chip immunoassays by using three-dimensional 3 and 8 mu m size microtextured structures as substrates for the assay, which allows exploitation of a large number of fluorophores withi ...
