Microfluidics and materials for smart water monitoring: A review
(Elsevier, 2021-03-13)
Water quality monitoring of drinking, waste, continental and seawaters is of great importance to ensure safety and wellbeing for humans, fauna and flora. Researchers are developing robust water monitoring microfluidic ...
A microfluidic column of water index-matched packed microspheresfor label-free observation of water pollutants
(Springer Nature, 2021-03-28)
A microfluidic, label-free optical sensor for water pollutants, which is based on a packed micro-column of microspheres with refractive index similar to that of water, is presented. The perfluoropolyether microspheres are ...
Tunable Superparamagnetic Ring (tSPRing) for Droplet Manipulation
(Wiley-VCH, 2021-05-13)
The manipulation of droplets by magnetic field forms the basis of a fascinating technology that is currently in development. Often, the movement of droplets with magnets involves adding magnetic particles in or around the ...
Ex situ and in situ Magnetic Phase Synthesised Magneto-Driven Alginate Beads
(Elsevier, 2022-03-15)
[EN] Biocompatible magnetic hydrogels provide a great source of synthetic materials, which facilitate remote stimuli, enabling safer biological and environmental applications. Prominently, the ex situ and in situ magnetic ...
Selective ultrasensitive optical fiber nanosensors based on plasmon resonance energy transfer
(American Chemical Society, 2020-04-03)
The facet of optical fibers coated with nanostructures enable the development of ultraminiature and sensitive (bio)chemical sensors. The reported sensors until now lack of specificity and the fabrication methods offer poor ...
Large Volume Self-powered Disposable Microfluidics by the Integration of Modular Polymer Micropumps with Plastic Microfluidic Cartridges
(ACS, 2020-12-10)
Microfluidic microsystems are often designed to analyse samples of small volume of fluid, however, some applications require the analysis of larger volumes. The ideal miniaturized microfluidic analytical device should be ...
On-demand generation and removal of alginate biocompatible microvalves for flow control in microfluidics
(Elsevier, 2016-10-29)
[EN] This paper describes, for the first time, the use of alginate hydrogels as miniaturised microvalves within microfluidic devices. These biocompatible and biodegradable microvalves are generated in situ and on demand, ...
Ionogel-based hybrid polymer-paper handheld platform for nitrite and nitrate determination in water samples.
(Elsevier, 2022-05)
[EN] Nowadays, miniaturization and portability are crucial characteristics that need to be considered for the development of water monitoring systems. In particular, the use of handheld technology, including microfluidics, ...
Ionogel-based Nitrite and Nitrate Sensor for Water Control at the Point-of-Need
(Elsevier, 2016)
The increment of uncontrolled nutrients concentration in water is the subject of increasing environmental concern. In particular, the increment of nitrate causes the eutrophication of algae, leading to fauna and flora ...
Alginate Bead Biosystem for the Determination of Lactate in Sweat Using Image Analysis
(MDPI, 2021-10-09)
Lactate is present in sweat at high concentrations, being a metabolite of high interest in sport science and medicine. Therefore, the potential to determine lactate concentrations in physiological fluids, at the point of ...
