Design and fabrication of an effective micromixer through passive method
Micromixer is a significant component of microfluidics particularly in lab-on-chip applications so that there has been a growing need for design and fabrication of micromixers with a shorter length and higher efficiency. Despite most of the passive micromixers that suffer from long mixing path and complicated geometry to increase the efficiency, our novel design suggests a highly efficient micr...
متن کاملSpecial issue on fundamental principles and techniques in microfluidics.
About a year ago we were charged, by the Lab on a Chip Editorial Board, to edit a themed issue on fundamental principles and techniques in microfluidics. The outcome is this set of nontraditional reviews, each written as a primer for those in the Lab on a Chip audience unfamiliar with the specific topic and/or as a critical review of recent developments for more advanced researchers. Since micr...
متن کاملDigital microfluidics: is a true lab-on-a-chip possible?
The suitability of electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWD) microfluidics for true lab-on-a-chip applications is discussed. The wide diversity in biomedical applications can be parsed into manageable components and assembled into architecture that requires the advantages of being programmable, reconfigurable, and reusable. This capability opens the possibility of handling all of the protocols that a ...
متن کاملSystem Integration - A Major Step toward Lab on a Chip
Microfluidics holds great promise to revolutionize various areas of biological engineering, such as single cell analysis, environmental monitoring, regenerative medicine, and point-of-care diagnostics. Despite the fact that intensive efforts have been devoted into the field in the past decades, microfluidics has not yet been adopted widely. It is increasingly realized that an effective system i...
متن کاملHybrid microfluidics: a digital-to-channel interface for in-line sample processing and chemical separations.
Microchannels can separate analytes faster with higher resolution, higher efficiency and with lower reagent consumption than typical column techniques. Unfortunately, an impediment in the path toward fully integrated microchannel-based labs-on-a-chip is the integration of pre-separation sample processing. Although possible in microchannels, such steps are challenging because of the difficulty i...
