Predicting Dimensions in Microfluidic Paper Based Analytical Devices
(MDPI, 2020-12-26)
The main problem for the expansion of the use of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices and, thus, their mass production is their inherent lack of fluid flow control due to its uncontrolled fabrication protocols. To ...
Imidazole-based ionogel as room temperature benzene and formaldehyde sensor
(Springer, 2020-11-04)
A room temperature benzene and formaldehyde gas sensor system with an ionogel as sensing material is presented. The sensing layer is fabricated employing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) polymerized in the presence of ...
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, ...
