Microfluidic devices for automated analysis of ingested bacteria in the Caenorhabditis elegans intestine

Farzad Rezaeianaran

In this thesis, we explored on-chip high-resolution imaging of the fate of intestinal bacteria and bacterial products in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). In the first part, we carried out high-resolution z-stack fluorescent imaging of Red Fluorescent P ...

Efficient AC electrothermal flow (ACET) on-chip for enhanced immunoassays

Martinus Gijs, Diego Gabriel Dupouy, Muaz Salama Abdelmonem Draz

Biochemical reaction rates in microfluidic systems are known to be limited by the diffusional transport of reagents, leading often to lowered sensitivity and/or longer detection times in immunoassays. Several methods, including electrically powering electr ...
