Flow-valve Diagnostics for Simple, Point-of-care Analyte Quantitation
We have developed a novel microfluidic system for the simple visual quantitation of target molecules in microliter volumes, for application in point-of-care diagnostics. We constructed microfluidic conduits with a critical dimension (height) of a few micrometers in a deformable material and coated the microchannel surfaces with receptors for the target. When a solution containing the target flo...
متن کاملNext-generation microfluidic point-of-care diagnostics.
Microfluidics or lab-on-a-chip (LOC) diagnostic devices have the potential to provide fast, laboratory-quality results to expedite clinical decisions at various point-ofcare (POC) settings, including outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, and intensive care units (1 ). Unfortunately, these technologies remain out of reach in the developing world, where lack of access to quality diagnoses contribu...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Microfluidic Fluorescence Immunosensor for Point-of-Care Diagnostics
The miniaturization of conventional immunoassays using microfluidic techniques has proven promising in bringing accurate and quantitative clinical diagnosis to the point-of-care (POC). However, the microfluidics community has yet to produce many commercial devices for such applications. The main reason for this is the difficulty in producing low-cost, rapid, sensitive, automated, and portable i...
متن کاملA Printed Circuit Board Based Microfluidic System for Point-of-care Diagnostics Applications
We propose an alternative approach for fabricating microfluidic devices by using printed circuit board (PCB) as a substrate to produce high precision, highly integrated microfluidic systems. Driven by consumer electronics industry, the PCB manufacturing has reached a high level of maturity and precision, enabling the production of sophisticated electronic substrates at high-resolution and low c...
متن کاملNext-generation microfluidic lab-on-a-chip platforms for point-of-care diagnostics and systems biology
Lab-on-a-chip technologies have pervaded various fields of the life sciences including nucleic acid testing, immunoassays and cell screening. It has by now been clearly recognized that microfluidic liquid handling offers a unique approach to integrate, automate, parallelize and miniaturize assay formats, thus making it possible to port them from the lab bench to point of care settings. In syste...
