Transparent and Robust Silica Coatings with Dual Range Porosity for Enzyme-Based Optical Biosensing

Heinrich Hofmann, Oswaldo Javier Pérez Anguiano, Bernard Wenger, Raphaël Pugin, Emmanuel Scolan

Hierarchically porous transparent silica coatings combine large specific surface area with enhanced pore accessibility for optical biosensing. This paper describes a versatile approach to fabricate optically transparent silica coatings with multiscale poro ...

Opportunities for high-pressure microfluidics in biomedical applications

Ata Tuna Ciftlik

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 ...
