Integrated Elastomer Fluidic Lab-on-a-chip – Surface Patterning and DNA Diagnostics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We recently developed a method of multilayer fabrication for elastomeric devices, which we used to fabricate monolithic active valves and pumps. Here we describe efforts to use these pumps and valves in an integrated DNA diagnostic chip and show results of a key component, surface patterning, with two different kind of surface chemistries by using similar elastomeric channel devices. Flow control, reagent metering, in-line mixing and loop circulations are also demonstrated.

Recent developments on various lab-on-a-chip techniques allow miniaturized and integrated devices to perform on-chip single-molecule studies. Fluidic-based platforms that utilize unique microscale fluidic behavior are capable of conducting single-molecule experiments with high sensitivities and throughputs, while biomolecular systems can be studied on-chip using techniques such as DNA curtains,...
متن کامل3-dimensional electrode patterning within a microfluidic channel using metal ion implantation.
The application of electrical fields within a microfluidic channel enables many forms of manipulation necessary for lab-on-a-chip devices. Patterning electrodes inside the microfluidic channel generally requires multi-step optical lithography. Here, we utilize an ion-implantation process to pattern 3D electrodes within a fluidic channel made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Electrode structuring...

متن کاملTunable patterning of microparticles and cells using standing surface acoustic waves.
We have developed an acoustic-based tunable patterning technique by which microparticles or cells can be arranged into reconfigurable patterns in microfluidic channels. In our approach, we use pairs of slanted-finger interdigital transducers (SFITs) to generate a tunable standing surface acoustic wave field, which in turn patterns microparticles or cells in one- or two-dimensional arrays inside...
