Lab-on-a-disc
The FRUITS group has strong interests and unique capability in development of ”Fully Integrated Lab-on-a-disc” for liquid biopsy applications such as CTC, EV and cfDNA as well as various kinds of applications such as blood analysis, immunoassay, pathogen detection, molecular diagnostics, water quality analysis etc.
We plan to further investigate to achieve in-depth understanding of the centrifugal microfluidic phenomena as well as to combine non-conventional force field on the spinning disc while continuing developing high-impact total analysis system.
