Lab-on-a-Chip Molecular Inference System

Molecular computation on DNA performs calculations using nanotechnology means during chemical reactions. With the help of silicon industry microfluidic processors were invented utilizing nano membrane valves, pumps and microreactors. These so called lab-on-a-chips combined together with molecular computing create molecular-systems-on-a-chips. This work presents an approach to implementation of ...

3D Integration Technology for Lab-on-a-Chip Applications

A review is presented of advances and challenges in fully integrated systems for personalised medicine applications. One key issue for the commercialisation of such systems is the disposability of the assay-substrate at a low cost. This work adds a new dimension to the integrated circuits technology for lab-on-a-chip systems by employing 3D integration for improved performance and functionality...

Lab-on-a-chip technology for continuous glucose monitoring.

The demand for continuous glucose monitoring systems is greater than ever. The microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) approach has the advantage of being relatively easy to upscale to a commercial level; the preferred MEMS technique would be to run several detectors at once and, through the improved statistics, get a both more accurate and more reliable device than is currently available. Lab-on...

System Integration - A Major Step toward Lab on a Chip

Microfluidics holds great promise to revolutionize various areas of biological engineering, such as single cell analysis, environmental monitoring, regenerative medicine, and point-of-care diagnostics. Despite the fact that intensive efforts have been devoted into the field in the past decades, microfluidics has not yet been adopted widely. It is increasingly realized that an effective system i...

Hybridoma: On-chip Cell Fusion Lab in a Tube Lab on a Chip

Antibodies have been used for many different applications ranging from basic biological studies to therapeutics. For example, antibodies are used in treatments as wide ranging as cancer care, autoimmune disease therapy, and to prevent rejection of transplanted organs. This requires large quantities of antibodies, which can be supplied via hybridoma generation. Hybridomas are hybrid cell lines f...
