Packaging commercial CMOS chips for lab on a chip integration.
Combining integrated circuitry with microfluidics enables lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices to perform sensing, freeing them from benchtop equipment. However, this integration is challenging with small chips, as is briefly reviewed with reference to key metrics for package comparison. In this paper we present a simple packaging method for including mm-sized, foundry-fabricated dies containing complem...
متن کاملBoundary effects on chaotic advection-diffusion chemical reactions.
A theory of a fast binary chemical reaction, A+B-->C, in a statistically stationary bounded chaotic flow at large Peclet number Pe and large Damköhler number Da is described. The first stage correspondent to formation of the developed lamellar structure in the bulk part of the flow is terminated by an exponential decay, proportional, variant exp((-lambdat) (where lambda is the Lyapunov exponent...
متن کاملAccurate dispensing of volatile reagents on demand for chemical reactions in EWOD chips.
Digital microfluidic chips provide a new platform for manipulating chemicals for multi-step chemical synthesis or assays at the microscale. The organic solvents and reagents needed for these applications are often volatile, sensitive to contamination, and wetting, i.e. have contact angles of <90° even on the highly hydrophobic surfaces (e.g., Teflon® or Cytop®) typically used on digital microfl...
متن کاملBridging kinematics and concentration content in a chaotic micromixer.
We analyze the mixing properties of the microfluidic herringbone configuration introduced to mix scalar substances in a narrow channel at low Reynolds but large Péclet numbers. Because of the grooves sculpted on the channel floor, substantial transverse motions are superimposed onto the usual longitudinal Poiseuille dispersion along the channel, whose impact on both the mixing rate and mixture ...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium electrokinetic micromixer with 3D nanochannel networks.
We report an active micromixer which utilizes vortex generation due to non-equilibrium electrokinetics near the interface between a microchannnel and a nanochannel networks membrane (NCNM), constructed from geometrically controlled in situ self-assembled nanoparticles. A large interfacing area where it is possible to generate vortices can be realized, because nano-interstices between the assemb...
