Shrink-film microfluidic education modules: Complete devices within minutes.
As advances in microfluidics continue to make contributions to diagnostics and life sciences, broader awareness of this expanding field becomes necessary. By leveraging low-cost microfabrication techniques that require no capital equipment or infrastructure, simple, accessible, and effective educational modules can be made available for a broad range of educational needs from middle school demo...
متن کاملMicromixing within microfluidic devices.
Micromixing is a crucial process within microfluidic systems such as micro total analysis systems (μTAS). A state-of-art review on microstructured mixing devices and their mixing phenomena is given. The review first presents an overview of the characteristics of fluidic behavior at the microscale and their implications in microfluidic mixing processes. According to the two basic principles expl...
متن کاملPorous Titania Thin Film Microfluidic Devices for Medical Diagnostics
We present a new methodology using highly wetting porous titania films to develop microfluidic devices which can be employed for medical diagnostics. Capillary flows through thin porous media are attractive for small-scale liquid transport systems. Capillary flows show different characteristics depending on the medium, however, for most media it is challenging to realize arbitrary shapes and sp...
متن کاملShrink film patterning by craft cutter: complete plastic chips with high resolution/high-aspect ratio channel.
This paper presents a rapid, ultra-low-cost approach to fabricate microfluidic devices using a polyolefin shrink film and a digital craft cutter. The shrinking process (with a 95% reduction in area) results in relatively uniform and consistent microfluidic channels with smooth surfaces, vertical sidewalls, and high aspect ratio channels with lateral resolutions well beyond the tool used to cut ...
متن کاملDielectrophoretic tweezers for examining particle-surface interactions within microfluidic devices
The authors present dielectrophoresis DEP -based tweezers that can be used to characterize the interactions between a particle and the surface it is attached to, within a microfluidic device. As a proof of concept, 5.4 m polystyrene beads functionalized by carboxyl group were attached on a bare and poly-L-lysine functionalized oxide surface. Negative dielectrophoresis force was generated using ...
