Suspended microfluidics [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
Although the field of microfluidics has made significant progress in bringing new tools to address biological questions, the accessibility and adoption of microfluidics within the life sciences are still limited. Open microfluidic systems have the potential to lower the barriers to adoption, but the absence of robust design rules has hindered their use.

MicroSweat: A Wearable Microfluidic Patch for Noninvasive and Reliable Sweat Collection Enables Human Stress Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2023
Stress affects cognition, behavior, and physiology, leading to lasting physical and mental illness. The ability to detect and measure stress, however, is poor. Increased circulating cortisol during stress is mirrored by cortisol release from sweat glands,

Microfluidics for cryopreservation [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnology Advances, 2017
Cryopreservation has utility in clinical and scientific research but implementation is highly complex and includes labor-intensive cell-specific protocols for the addition/removal of cryoprotective agents and freeze-thaw cycles. Microfluidic platforms can revolutionize cryopreservation by providing new tools to manipulate and screen cells at micro/nano

Microfluidics in biotechnology [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Nanobiotechnology, 2004
Microfluidics enables biotechnological processes to proceed on a scale (microns) at which physical processes such as osmotic movement, electrophoretic-motility and surface interactions become enhanced. At the microscale sample volumes and assay times are reduced, and procedural costs are lowered.

Microfluidics for bioapplications [PDF]

open access: yesAnalytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2009
A few months ago, when I was asked to gather articles for a special issue for Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, I did not hesitate. However, I needed to come up with a good working title matching the readers’ interest and my own education. Considering my background, the title should include the term “microfluidics” and something with “bio,” and ...
