چکیده
With the upcoming 10th Micro Total Analysis Systems (mTAS) conference, it is appropriate to look back at the nine previous meetings and see how the conference and associated research fields have evolved. The original concept of mTAS is reviewed in the context of the former sensors and actuators and analytical chemistry concepts. Its development over the past 12 years is discussed by taking examples from the successive conferences, showing the enormous expansion of the field that now also comprises biologists, physicists, nanotechnologists and medical researchers, and presenting several of the commercial initiatives realised so far. It is concluded that microfluidics is the essential generic technology responsible for the broadening of the field and incredible variability of concepts and applications. The ongoing inclusion of new scientific disciplines and application areas is considered a major factor for the continuing and future success of the mTAS field.

Trends in miniaturized total analysis systems for point-of-care testing in clinical chemistry.
A currently emerging approach enables more widespread monitoring of health parameters in disease prevention and biomarker monitoring. Miniaturisation provides the means for the production of small, fast and easy-to-operate devices for reduced-cost healthcare testing at the point-of-care (POC) or even for household use. A critical overview is given on the present state and requirements of POC te...

متن کاملDesign of a Low-Latency Router Based on Virtual Output Queuing and Bypass Channels for Wireless Network-on-Chip
Wireless network-on-chip (WiNoC) is considered as a novel approach for designing future multi-core systems. In WiNoCs, wireless routers (WRs) utilize high-bandwidth wireless links to reduce the transmission delay between the long distance nodes. When the network traffic loads increase, a large number of packets will be sent into the wired and wireless links and can...
متن کاملStability Modification of SPR Silver Nano-Chips by Alkaline Condensation of Aminopropyltriethoxysilane
The Silver SPR chip was modified by alkaline-silane condensation with aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) in NaOH aqueous solution at different times. Silver sputtered slides coated with APTES were immersed in NaOH solution, enabling us to produce silver surfaces homogeneously covered with APTES. The surface properties of grafted APTES on sputtered silver surface as a occasion of time were studi...
