Local control of magnetic objects in microfluidic channelsMicrofluidics and Nanofluidics - Tập 8 - Trang 123-130 - 2009
Caroline Derec, Claire Wilhelm, Jacques Servais, Jean-Claude Bacri
The application of magnetic fields in microfluidics is of growing interest and the localisation of the applied field emerges as a key requisite for future integration with other micro-platforms. In this paper, we present a novel strategy of fabrication of an integrated microchannel, which combines the advantages of localisation of the magnetic field with simplicity of design and fabrication. The c...... hiện toàn bộ
On the methodologies for the assessment of the impact of parameters in acoustophoretic separation devicesMicrofluidics and Nanofluidics - Tập 23 - Trang 1-8 - 2019
Fabio Garofalo
In this communication, we reconcile the kinematic method illustrated by some authors (Yang et al. in Microfluid Nanofluid 22:44–56, 2018; Vitali et al. in RSC Adv 8:38955, 2018) in studying the impact of system and suspension parameters on acoustophoretic separations with the statistical method formerly proposed by Garofalo (Microfluid Nanofluid 18(3):367–382, 2014a; ASME 2014 3rd global congress ...... hiện toàn bộ
Isothermal titration calorimetry in a polymeric microdeviceMicrofluidics and Nanofluidics - Tập 21 - Trang 1-9 - 2017
Yuan Jia, Zhixing Zhang, Chao Su, Qiao Lin
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology can enable the integration of isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) on a single chip for direct thermodynamic characterization. However, existing ITC microdevices either do not yet allow proper control of reaction conditions for thermodynamic characterization of biomolecular reaction systems or do not yet suitable for practical applications because...... hiện toàn bộ
Design rules for microscale capillary phase separatorsMicrofluidics and Nanofluidics - Tập 21 - Trang 1-16 - 2017
Agnieszka Ładosz, Philipp Rudolf von Rohr
We propose a model to compute operating boundaries for on-chip continuous-phase separation of slug flow using capillary separators, verified by an extensive experimental study. The operating region of the device is described by two limits, defining the range of pressure drop across the separator at which full withdrawal of the continuous phase through the capillaries takes place while simultaneous...... hiện toàn bộ
Experimental study of the separation behavior of nanoparticles in micro- and nanochannelsMicrofluidics and Nanofluidics - Tập 10 - Trang 69-80 - 2010
Mariateresa Napoli, Paul Atzberger, Sumita Pennathur
In this article, we investigate the effects of pH, ionic strength, and channel height on the mobility and diffusivity of charged spherical particles within planar microfluidic channels. Specifically, we report results of a broad experimental study on the transport and separation behavior of 50 and 100 nm spherical carboxylated polystyrene nanoparticles, confined in 20 μm, 1 μm, and 250 nm deep flu...... hiện toàn bộ
Quantitative comparison of thermal and solutal transport in a T-mixer by FLIM and CFDMicrofluidics and Nanofluidics - Tập 5 - Trang 603-617 - 2008

The development and adoption of lab-on-a-chip and micro-TAS (total analysis system) techniques requires not only the solving of design and manufacturing issues, but also the introduction of reliable and quantitative methods of analysis. In this work, two complementary tools are applied to the study of thermal and solutal transport in liquids. The experimental determination of the concentration of ...... hiện toàn bộ
