A high-shear, low Reynolds number microfluidic rheometer
We present a microfluidic rheometer that uses in situ pressure sensors to measure the viscosity of liquids at low Reynolds number. Viscosity is measured in a long, straight channel using a PDMS-based microfluidic device that consists of a channel layer and a sensing membrane integrated with an array of piezoresistive pressure sensors via plasma surface treatment. The micro-pressure sensor is fa...
متن کاملTowards the continuous production of bacterial metabolites in microfluidic environment
In the present work, a continuous microreactor was designed to study the effect of miniaturization on bioreactors for the production of invertase from S. cerevisiae MM01 in a microfluidic environment. In order to simplify the analysis and considering typical production strategies at laboratory scale, 250 ml baffled flasks and a 2.5 l batch bioreactor were used as bench-scale models for the perf...
متن کاملMicrofluidic rheometer for characterization of protein unfolding and aggregation in microflows.
Effective and accurate methods for characterizing rheological changes of proteins by alteration of their level, composition, or conformation are of significant clinical and biotechnological utility. Current implementations to measure rheological properties of a fluid, however, require mechanically moving components or off-chip measurement setups, thereby preventing incorporation of them into mi...
متن کاملContinuous Flow Microfluidic Bioparticle Concentrator
Innovative microfluidic technology has enabled massively parallelized and extremely efficient biological and clinical assays. Many biological applications developed and executed with traditional bulk processing techniques have been translated and streamlined through microfluidic processing with the notable exception of sample volume reduction or centrifugation, one of the most widely utilized p...
متن کاملContinuous flow separations in microfluidic devices.
Biochemical sample mixtures are commonly separated in batch processes, such as filtration, centrifugation, chromatography or electrophoresis. In recent years, however, many research groups have demonstrated continuous flow separation methods in microfluidic devices. Such separation methods are characterised by continuous injection, real-time monitoring, as well as continuous collection, which m...
