Reconfigurable microfluidics [PDF]
Nature Reviews Chemistry, 2021 Lab-on-a-chip devices leverage microfluidic technologies to enable chemical and biological processes at small scales. However, existing microfluidic channel networks are typically designed for the implementation of a single function or a well-defined protocol and do not allow the flexibility and real-time experimental decision-making essential to many ...

A Microfluidic Biodisplay [PDF]
ACS Synthetic Biology, 2017 Abstract Synthetically engineered cells are powerful and potentially useful biosensors, but it remains problematic to deploy such systems due to practical difficulties and biosafety concerns. To overcome these hurdles, we developed a microfluidic device that serves as an interface between an engineered cellular system, environment, and ...

Lab on a Chip, 2011 The propagation of pressure waves in fluidic channels with elastic covers is discussed in view of applications to flow control in microfluidic devices. A theory is presented which describes pressure waves in the fluid that are coupled to bending waves in the elastic cover. At low frequencies, the lateral bending of the cover dominates over longitudinal

Proceedings 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.

Microfluidics for cryopreservation [PDF]
Biotechnology 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]
Journal 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]
Analytical 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 ...
