Simulating fully three-dimensional pressurized fracture propagation

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Dmitry Nikolskiy

We report the progress on a new computational technique for fully three-dimensional simulation of propagation of hydraulic fractures in the vicinity of a wellbore. One of the components of this technique is the boundary element code for modeling the elasti ...

Selective Trapping of DNA Using Glass Microcapillaries

Nadanai Laohakunakorn

We show experimentally that an inexpensive glass microcapillary can accumulate lambda-phage DNA at its tip and deliver the DNA into the capillary using a combination of electro-osmotic flow, pressure-driven flow, and electrophoresis. We develop an efficien ...

Metal-Coated SU-8 Structures for High-Density 3-D Microelectrode Arrays

Carlotta Guiducci, Samuel Kilchenmann, Pietro Maoddi, Enrica Rollo

Electric fields can be effectively used to sense, manipulate, and move particles in lab-on-a-chip devices. Nevertheless, the throughput of such devices is a critical issue, which can be effectively improved by increasing the height of the microchannels. Fo ...

Microfluidic chip for monitoring Ca2+ transport through a confluent layer of intestinal cells

Martinus Gijs, Paolo Silacci, Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin, Josias Basil Wacker, Christine Ruffert, Guy Vergères

The absorption of dietary calcium through the intestinal barrier is essential for maintaining health in general and especially of the bone system. We propose a microfluidic model that studies free calcium (Ca2+) transport through a confluent monolayer of C ...
