Efficient Microwave Heating and Dielectric Characterization of Microfluidic Systems

ABSTRACT This paper presents a 2.45 GHz microwave cavity resonator with the novel dual function of both sensitive dielectric characterisation and directed, volumetric heating of fluids in a microfluidic chip. This method is shown to have a higher efficiency (>90 % for methanol), higher rate of heating and more accurate control than previous microfluidic microwave heating methods [1], [2]. The s...

Dielectric Characterization of Materials at Microwave Frequency Range

In this study a coaxial line was used to connect a microwave-frequency Network Analyzer and a base moving sample holder for dielectric characterization of ferroelectric materials in the microwave range. The main innovation of the technique is the introduction of a special sample holder that eliminates the air gap effect by pressing sample using a fine pressure system control. The device was pre...

Microwave Imaging : Characterization of Unknown Dielectric or Conductive Materials

Microwave imaging problem consists of reconstructing unknown objects from measurements of the scattered field that results from their interaction with a known interrogating wave. This problem is nonlinear and ill-posed. The most classical methods to solve this inverse problem are based on the linearization of the model (by using Born or Rytov approximation) or work directly on the nonlinear map...

Microwave assisted organic synthesis (MAOS) of small molecules as potential HIV-1 integrase inhibitors.

Integrase (IN) represents a clinically validated target for the development of antivirals against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In recent years our research group has been engaged in the stucture-function study of this enzyme and in the development of some three-dimensional pharmacophore models which have led to the identification of a large series of potent HIV-1 integrase strand-transfe...
