Abstract:
Emerging microfluidic technology has introduced new precision controls over reaction conditions. Owing to the small amount of reagents, microfluidics significantly lowers the cost of carrying a single reaction. Moreover, in two-phase systems, each part of a dispersed fluid can be treated as an independent chemical reactor with a volume from femtoliters to microliters, increasing the throughput. In this work, we propose a microfluidic device that provides continuous recirculation of droplets in a closed loop, maintaining low consumption of oil phase, no cross-contamination, stabilized temperatu

Abstract:
AbstractTo improve cell vitality, sufficient oxygen supply is an important factor. A deficiency in oxygen is called Hypoxia and can influence for example tumor growth or inflammatory processes. Hypoxia assays are usually performed with the help of animal or static human cell culture models. The main disadvantage of these methods is that the results are hardly transferable to the human physiology. Microfluidic 3D cell cultivation systems for perfused hypoxia assays may overcome this issue since they can mimic the in-vivo situation in the human body much better. Such a Hypoxia-on-a-Chip system w

Abstract:
Microfluidics has emerged in recent years as a technology that has advantages and is well suited for studying chemistry, biology, and physics at the microscale. A common material which has been widely use to fabricate the microfluidic system is thermoplastic materials. The method of fabricating microfluidic devices has been growing because of advantages such as high-quality feature replication, inexpensiveness, and ease of use. However, the major barrier to the utilization of thermoplastics is the lack of bonding methods for different plastic layers to close the microchannels. Therefore, this

Abstract:
It is the ambition of many researchers to finally be able to close in on the fundamental, coupled phenomena that occur during the formation and expression of electrocatalytic activity in electroactive biofilms. It is because of this desire to understand that bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) have been miniaturized into microBES by taking advantage of the worldwide development of microfluidics. Microfluidics tools applied to bioelectrochemistry permit even more fundamental studies of interactions and coupled phenomena occurring at the microscale, thanks, in particular, to the concomitant combin

Abstract:
Abstract CAR-T autologous cell therapies are delivering impressive results in the clinic. However, there are still significant manufacturing challenges impeding the rapid adoption of these advanced therapies. On the first day of cell processing, most manufacturing approaches require ~5 steps (~4 hours) to obtain a white blood cell (WBC) preparation sufficiently depleted of red blood cells (RBCs) for T-cell selection and activation steps; and involves large cell losses and a great deal of inconsistency. Here we present a single-step procedure that yields >2 fold more cells that centrifug

The paper proposes a two-dimensional computer model of the fluid flow in a plane channel under the action of an applied pressure drop with a flat ceramic piezoelectric actuator immersed in it, bending in the transverse direction in proportion to the applied electric voltage. A mathematical model of the coupled liquid-piezodrive system in variational form for numerical simulation by the finite element method is proposed. Since the assignment of the Dirichlet boundary conditions for displacement in this problem, is difficult, an equivalent piezo actuator deformation scheme using the Neumann boun

Abstract:
Compact disc (CD)-based centrifugal microfluidics is an increasingly popular choice for academic and commercial applications as it enables a portable platform for biological and chemical assays. By rationally designing microfluidic conduits and programming the disc’s rotational speeds and accelerations, one can reliably control propulsion, metering, and valving operations. Valves that either stop fluid flow or allow it to proceed are critical components of a CD platform. Among the valves on a CD, wax valves that liquify at elevated temperatures to open channels and that solidify at room temper

Abstract:
Microfluidic devices enable the precise operation of liquid samples in small volumes. This motivates why microfluidic devices have been applied to point-of-care (PoC) liquid biopsy. Among PoC liquid biopsy studies, some report diagnostic reagents being freeze-dried in such microfluidic devices. This type of PoC microfluidic device has distinct advantages, such as simplicity of the procedures, compared with other PoC devices using liquid-type diagnostic reagents. Despite the attractive characteristic, only diagnostic reagents based on the cloned enzyme donor immunoassay (CEDIA) have been freeze

Abstract:
Abstract Severe hemolysis and associated high levels of hemolytic biomarkers, including LDH and heme, are among major constituents of the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease (SCD). Elevated extracellular heme due to hemolysis overwhelms endogenous detoxification mechanisms and leads to oxidative stress, triggering systemic endothelium activation, vascular dysfunction, and end organ damage. To understand the role of red blood cells (RBC) in this process, we assessed sickle RBC adhesion to heme-activated endothelial cells utilizing an endothelialized microfluidic platform in a clinically dive

Abstract:
Microfluidics offers a highly controlled and reproducible route to synthesize lipid vesicles. In recent years, several microfluidic approaches have been introduced for this purpose, but double emulsions, such as Water-in-Oil-in-Water (W/O/W) droplets, are preferable to produce giant vesicles that are able to maximize material encapsulation. Flow focusing (FF) is a technique used to generate double emulsion droplets with high monodispersity, a controllable size, and good robustness.

Analysis using human cells has been widely used in place of animal experiments. To obtain culture environments closer to those with in vivo, perfusion culture using microfluidic devices is being studied instead of stationary culture such as in a culture dish. With conventional perfusion culture with microfluidic devices, pumping system is externally provided, causing a large dead volume of culture medium. As a result, applied drugs as well as metabolites and signal transmitters from cells are diluted. We minimized this dead volume by embedding micropumps within the device to realize a high con
