چکیده

8 ABSTRACT: High-throughput, quantitative, and rapid microfluidic9 based separations has been a long-sought goal for applications in 10 proteomics, genomics, biomarker discovery, and clinical diagnostics. 11 Using droplet-interfaced microchip electrophoresis (MCE) techni12 ques, we have developed a novel parallel MCE platform, based on 13 the concept of combining the Slipchip principle with a newly 14 developed “Gelchip”. The platform consists of two plastic plates, 15 with droplet wells on one plate and separation channels with 16 preloaded/cured gel in the other. A single relative movement of one 17 plate enables generation and then loading of multiple sample 18 droplets in parallel into the separation channels, allowing electro19 phoretic separation of biomolecules in the droplets in parallel and 20 with high-throughput. As proof of concept, we demonstrated the 21 separation of 30 sub-nL sample droplets containing fluorescent dyes or DNA fragments.

Digital-Microfluidic Biochips

D igital-micro uidic biochips (DMFBs) are revolutionizing laboratory procedures for point-of-care clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and drug discovery. DMFBs allow bioassay protocols to be scaled down to droplet size. They’re executed by enabling precise control of discrete droplets using a patterned array of electrodes. Biochemistry’s inherent complexity means that operational er...

Microfluidic droplet grating for reconfigurable optical diffraction.

This Letter presents a reconfigurable optical diffraction grating using multiphase droplets on a microfluidic chip. The uniform and evenly spaced circular droplets are generated by continuously dispersing two immiscible liquids into a T junction to produce plugs, which are then transformed into a circular shape at a sudden expansion of the microchannel. In experiments, the droplet grating shows...

3-RPS Parallel Manipulator Dynamical Modelling and Control Based on SMC and FL Methods

In this paper, a dynamical model-based SMC (Sliding Mode Control) is proposed fortrajectory tracking of a 3-RPS (Revolute, Prismatic, Spherical) parallel manipulator. With ignoring smallinertial effects of all legs and joints compared with those of the end-effector of 3-RPS, the dynamical model ofthe manipulator is developed based on Lagrange method. By removing the unknown Lagrange multipliers...
