Aqueous reagent solution micro-domains with sharp boundaries and defined shapes are created over cell monolayers within an immiscible bulk aqueous phase through rehydration of freestanding and portable dried reagent patches of the corresponding shape....

The molecular mechanism of the interaction between silane, e.g. APTES, with the plasma activated thermoplastic surfaces was investigated. The effect of the type of solvent during the silane deposition step on the thickness, surface morphology, stability and chemical properties of the APTES layer on plasma treated thermoplastics was explored.

We report a novel aqueous phase fluorescent caffeine sensor named Caffeine Orange which exhibits 250-fold fluorescence enhancement upon caffeine activation and high selectivity. To utilize this probe in real life, we developed a microfluidic device to make caffeine detection quick, sensitive and automated.

In this review, we summarize recent advances in pumping techniques for microfluidic cell culture and discuss their advantages and possible drawbacks.

We present a novel fullyintegrated centrifugal microfluidic devicewith features for target antigen capture from biological samples, via a bead-based enzyme-linkedimmune-sorbent assay, and flow-enhanced electrochemicaldetection.

We demonstrate that electrochemical velocimetry is a straightforward technique to accurately monitor flow on rotating microfluidic platforms in real-time.

We introduce a new fully integrated centrifugal microfluidic device for simultaneous determination of five major inorganic nutrients: nitrite, nitrate+nitrite, ammonium, orthophosphate, and silicate.

This paper describes a system to study how small physical perturbations can affect bacterial community behavior in unexpected ways through modulation of diffusion and convective transport of chemical communication molecules and resources

The geometric factors for faster particle separation rate on a centrifugal microfluidic platform are described

This report presents a multilevel microfluidic platform for robust construction of hydrogel scaffold in microchannels and its application to three dimensional (3D) multicellular co-cultures and assays.

A possible mechanism for the aminosilane-mediated room-temperature (RT) bonding of thermoplastics and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) is presented.
