Microfluidic devices fabricated in Poly(dimethylsiloxane) for biological studies
Abstract This review describes microfluidic systems in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) for biological studies. Properties of PDMS that make it a suitable platform for miniaturized...
A robust and scalable microfluidic metering method that allows protein crystal growth by free interface diffusion
Producing robust and scalable fluid metering in a microfluidic device is a challenging problem. We developed a scheme for metering fluids on the picoliter scale that is scalable...
Micromixers—a review
This review reports the progress on the recent development of micromixers. The review first presents the different micromixer types and designs. Micromixers in this review are c...
On-Chip Single-Copy Real-Time Reverse-Transcription PCR in Isolated Picoliter Droplets
The first lab-on-chip system for picoliter droplet generation and RNA isolation, followed by reverse transcription, and PCR amplification with real-time fluorescence detection i...
Torque-Actuated Valves for Microfluidics
This paper describes torque-actuated valves for controlling the flow of fluids in microfluidic channels. The valves consist of small machine screws (> or =500 microm) embedded i...
