Integrated Automated Analyzer for Monitoring of Explosives in Groundwater

چکیده
This talk will provide an overview of recent work on microfluidics/electrochemical sensors atPacific Northwest National Laboratory. A microfluidic platform was fabricated based on amulti-layer lamination method. Fluidic microchannels were produced by sandwiching laser-machined adhesive-backed polyimide gaskets between layers of the device. Individualcomponents, such as microfabricated piezoelectrically actuated pumps and amicroelectrochemical cell were designed and fabricated into plug-in modules which can bereadily plugged into the microfluidic platform. Nanoengineered electrochemical sensorsbased on carbon nanotubes and functionalized nanoporous silica thin-films have beendeveloped for enhanced selectivity and sensitivity.

Background: Presently, the graphical data of blood cells (histograms and cytograms or/ scattergrams) that they are usually available in all modern automated hematology analyzers are an integral a part of automated complete blood count (CBC). To find incorrect results from automated hematology analyzer and establish the samples that require additional analysis, Laboratory employees will use thos...
متن کاملCell culture monitoring via an auto-sampler and an integrated multi-functional off-line analyzer.
Mammalian cell-based bioprocesses are used extensively for production of therapeutic proteins. Off-line monitoring of such cultivations via manual sampling is often labor-intensive and can introduce operator-dependent error into the process. An integrated multi-functional off-line analyzer, the BioProfile FLEX (NOVA Biomedical, Waltham MA) has been developed, which combines the functionality of...
متن کاملAberration of Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate by Zinc Nanoparticles
Dear Editor, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a useful basic clinical pathology laboratory investigation. It can be helpful in diagnosis and follow-up of several diseases. At present, a new automated method with proven reliability is available for ESR test (1). Here, the authors report on observation on a laboratory experiment to test the effect of zinc nanoparticles on ESR results. The...
