Optofluidic lab-on-a-chip for rapid algae population screening
The rapid identification of algae species is not only of practical importance when monitoring unwanted adverse effects such as eutrophication, but also when assessing the water quality of watersheds. Here, we demonstrate a lab-on-a-chip that functions as a compact robust tool for the fast screening, real-time monitoring, and initial classification of algae. The water-algae sample, flowing in a ...
متن کاملLab-on-a-chip for oral cancer screening and diagnosis.
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a disfiguring and deadly cancer. Despite advances in therapy, many patients continue to face a poor prognosis. Early detection is an important factor in determining the survival of patients with OSCC. No accurate, cost-efficient, and reproducible method exists to screen patients for OSCC. As a result, many patients are diagnosed at advanced stages of the d...
متن کاملA rapid, reliable, and automatable lab-on-a-chip interface.
We present a prototype for a universal world-to-chip interface for electrical and fluidic connections to lab-on-a-chip devices. The concept is based on spring supported connections to secure and define the contact force for each wire and tubing. We demonstrate the functionality of a manual system and propose the design of an automated system. The new interface provides several useful characteri...
متن کاملOptofluidic Lab-on-a-Chip Fluorescence Sensor Using Integrated Buried ARROW (bARROW) Waveguides
Optofluidic, lab-on-a-chip fluorescence sensors were fabricated using buried anti-resonant reflecting optical waveguides (bARROWs). The bARROWs are impervious to the negative water absorption effects that typically occur in waveguides made using hygroscopic, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) oxides. These sensors were used to detect fluorescent microbeads and had an average sign...
