Review on Microfluidic Paper-based Analytical Devices towards Commercialisation
(Elsevier, 2017-11-11)
Paper-based analytical devices introduce an innovative platform technology for fluid handling andanalysis, with wide range of applications, promoting low cost, ease of fabrication/operation and equipment independence. This ...
Light-responsive Materials for Microfluidic Applications
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-03-07)
While the microfluidic device itself may be small, often the equipment required to control fluidics in thechip unit is large e.g. pumps, valves and mixing units, which can severely limit practical use and functionalscalability. ...
Manipulation of Fluid Flow Direction in Microfluidic Paper-Based Analytical Devices with an Ionogel Negative Passive Pump
(Elsevier, 2017-03-06)
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (microPADs) are a relatively new group of analytical tools thatrepresent an innovative low-cost platform technology for fluid handling and analysis. Nonetheless, microPADs lack ...
Reusable Ionogel-based Photo-actuators in a Lab-on-a-disc
(Elsevier, 2017-11-04)
This paper describes the design, fabrication and performance of a reusable ionogel-based photo-actuator, in-situ photopolymerised into a lab-on-a-disc microfluidic device, for flow control. The ionogel provides an effective ...
Photoswitchable Layer-by-layer Coatings Based on Photochromic Polynorbornenes Bearing Spiropyran Side Groups
(American Chemical Society, 2018-04-10)
Micro-capillaries, capable of light-regulated binding and qualitative detection of divalent metal ions in continuous flow, have been realised through functionalisation with spiropyran photochromic brush-type coatings. Upon ...
Micro-Capillary Coatings Based on Spiropyran Polymeric Brushes for Metal Ion Binding, Detection, and Release in Continuous Flow
(MDPI, 2018-04)
Micro-capillaries, capable of light-regulated binding and qualitative detection of divalent metal ions in continuous flow, have been realised through functionalisation with spiropyran photochromic brush-type coatings. Upon ...
Development, characterization and comparisons of targeted and non-targeted metabolomics methods
(Public Library Science, 2018-11-15)
The potential of a metabolomics method to detect statistically significant perturbations in the metabolome of an organism is enhanced by excellent analytical precision, unequivocal identification, and broad metabolomic ...
Phantom Membrane Microfluidic Cross-Flow Filtration Device for the Direct Optical Detection of Water Pollutants
(Elservier, 2017-11-06)
The diffusion of autonomous sensing platforms capable of a remote large-scale surveillance of environmental water basins is currently limited by the cost and complexity of standard analytical methods. In order to create a ...
Driving Flows in Microfluidic Paper-Based Analytical Devices with a Cholinium Based Poly Ionic Liquid Hydrogel
(Elsevier, 2018-01-31)
Paper microfluidics technology requires effective handling and control of fluids, and this remains as asignificant obstacle for their accessibility by end-users, inhibiting their transition from the laboratory intothe ...
