چکیده
The application of microneedles (MNs) for minimally invasive biological fluid sampling is rapidly emerging, offering a user-friendly approach with decreased insertion pain and less harm to the tissues compared conventional needles. Here, finger-powered microneedle array (MNA) integrated microfluidic chip was conceptualized extract body samples. Actuated by finger pressure, device enables an efficient user collect their own fluids in simple fast manner without requirement healthcare worker. processes extracting human blood interstitial (ISF) from flow across device, estimating amount extracted fluid, were simulated. design this work can be utilized personalized medical equipment usage procedure.

An electrically active microneedle array for electroporation.
We have designed and fabricated a microneedle array with electrical functionality with the final goal of electroporating skin's epidermal cells to increase their transfection by DNA vaccines. The microneedle array was made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) by micromolding technology from a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold, followed by metal deposition, patterning using laser ablation, and electr...
متن کاملMicroneedle Based Sampling for Breast Cancer Tissues
We have developed a microneedle based system that is capable of extracting cell membrane lipids from real breast cancer tissues. We show that it is possible to extract phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphoethanolamine (PE) lipids from the cancer tissue samples with the microneedle system and analyse them with mass spectrometry (MS). PC and PE lipids act as biomarkers for breast cancer. In future...
متن کاملOptimization of fuzzy controller for an SMA-actuated artificial finger robot
The purpose of this paper is to design and optimize an intelligent fuzzy-logic controller for a three-degree of freedom (3DOF) artificial finger with shape-memory alloy (SMA) wire actuators. The robotic finger is constructed using three SMA wires as tendons to bend each phalanx of the finger around its revolute joint and three torsion springs which return the phalanxes to their original positio...
متن کاملTransdermal Delivery of siRNA through Microneedle Array
Successful development of siRNA therapies has significant potential for the treatment of skin conditions (alopecia, allergic skin diseases, hyperpigmentation, psoriasis, skin cancer, pachyonychia congenital) caused by aberrant gene expression. Although hypodermic needles can be used to effectively deliver siRNA through the stratum corneum, the major challenge is that this approach is painful an...
متن کاملMicrofabricated Hollow Microneedle Array Using ICP Etcher
This paper presents a developed process for fabrication of hollow silicon microneedle arrays. The inner hollow hole and the fluidic reservoir are fabricated in deep reactive ion etching. The profile of outside needles is achieved by the developed fabrication process, which combined isotropic etching and anisotropic etching with inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etcher. Using the combination of S...
