Skin-interfaced microfluidic system with personalized sweating rate and sweat chloride analytics for sports science applications
Soft wearable microfluidic patch design and sensing strategies The wearable microfluidic patch technology introduced here involves multilayered stacks of thin-film polymers that contain intricate microfluidic channels created using laser and die cutting techniques. The network of microchannels and assay wells are created using roll-to-roll processing of polymeric rolls of materials, allowing for rapid (~1000 patches/min) [...]
A Microfluidic Device to Fabricate One-Step Cell Bead-Laden Hydrogel Struts for Tissue Engineering
In the microfluidic device, homogeneous cell-laden beads were generating by manipulating the flow rates of continuously flowing oil and cell-loaded GelMa bioink.
A microfluidic platform for highly parallel bite by bite profiling of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission
Vectorchips with integrated PDMS elastomer membranes were fabricated using a combination of laser patterning and soft lithography.
Biomimetic apposition compound eye fabricated using microfluidic-assisted 3D printing
The design of the 3D BAC-eye follows the anatomical structure of an apposition compound eye (Fig. 1a). Each microlens on the BAC-eye has the same function as the corneal facet lens of a natural eye.
Microfluidic enrichment of plasma cells improves treatment of multiple myeloma
Cytogenetic alterations form the basis for risk stratification for multiple myeloma (MM) and guide the selection of therapy; however, current pathology assays performed on bone marrow samples can produce false-negatives due to the unpredictable distribution and rarity of MM cells. Here, we report on a microfluidic device used to facilitate CD45 depletion to enhance the detection of cytogenetic alterations in plasma cells (PCs).
