چکیده
ABSTRACT The development of a cryo-cooling microfluidic device for reducing the resistive noise of a magnetic resonance (MR) microcoil to improve its signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in MR microscopy applications is presented. The radiofrequency (RF) spiral coil was cryo-cooled to liquid nitrogen temperature (-196oC) by the integrated microfluidic channels carrying liquid nitrogen for decreasing the thermal noise of the coil. Our prototype had a Q factor increase of 1.78 folds while preventing the imaging sample from freezing.

A magnetic resonance (MR) microscopy system using a microfluidically cryo-cooled planar coil.
We present the development of a microfluidically cryo-cooled planar coil for magnetic resonance (MR) microscopy. Cryogenically cooling radiofrequency (RF) coils for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the experiment. Conventional cryostats typically use a vacuum gap to keep samples to be imaged, especially biological samples, at or near room temperatu...
متن کاملMicrofluidically Cryo-cooled Inductively Coupled Spiral Microcoils for Mr Microscopy
The development of a microfluidically cryo-cooled and inductively coupled spiral microcoil for magnetic resonance (MR) microscopy with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is presented. The microcoil was inductively coupled to a secondary coil that was directly coupled to a transmission line. This configuration eliminated thermal flux through direct connection when the microcoil was cryo-cooled to ...

متن کاملCapture of DNA in microfluidic channel using magnetic beads: Increasing capture efficiency with integrated microfluidic mixer
We have studied the hybridization of target DNA in solution with probe DNA on magnetic beads immobilized on the channel sidewalls in a magnetic bead separator. The hybridization is carried out under a liquid flow and is diffusion limited. Two systems are compared: one with a straight microfluidic channel and one with an integrated staggered herringbone mixer. Fluorescence microscopy studies sho...
