Microfluidic models are proving to be powerful systems to study fundamental processes in porous media, due to their ability to replicate topologically complex environments while allowing detailed, quantitative observations at the pore scale. Yet, while por ...
Traditional cell assays report on the average results of a cell population. However, a wide range of new tools are being developed for a fundamental understanding of single cell's functionality. Nonetheless, the current tools are either limited in their th ...
Wafer bonding is an established technology for the manufacturing of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and microfluidic devices. Low temperature direct bonding techniques can be of particular interest for the fabri ...
This paper reports a novel miniaturized pseudo reference electrode (RE) design for biasing Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistors (ISFETs). It eliminates the need for post-CMOS processing and can scale up in numbers with the CMOS scaling. The presented des ...
This thesis deals with the development and study of microfluidic scintillation detectors, a technology of recent introduction for the detection of high energy particles. Most of the interest for such devices comes from the use of a liquid scintillator, whi ...
Clinical point of care testing often needs plasma instead of whole blood. As centrifugation is labor intensive and not always accessible, filtration is a more appropriate separation technique. The complexity of whole blood is such that there is still no co ...
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 ...
The term of optofluidics defines an emergent research field that combines microfluidics and optics. In many lab-on-a-chip applications, these two technologies are used in combining the microfluidics for sample delivery and optics for sensing and controllin ...
Optical sensors based on the interaction between molecular vibrations and mid infrared radiations attracted high attentions in the last decades. In this study, we present the development of a waveguide evanescent field sensor based on the absorption spectr ...
This paper presents a fabrication process for arrays of high-aspect-ratio micropillar electrodes, which are freestanding 3D structures that feature metal sidewalls connected to passivated planar wires. Facing vertical electrodes are considered to be a key ...
