We use magnetic microbeads, which are magnetically self-assembled in chains in a microfluidic chip, as reaction substrates to implement two different sandwich immunoassay protocols for the detection of mouse monoclonal target antibodies. The magnetic chain ...

We present a valveless micropump in glass, which is magnetically actuated using the sinusoidal current of an external electromagnet. We employ a powder blasting microerosion process for microstructuring the glass substrates and fusion bonding for assembly ...

Pressure pulse injection is proposed as an alternative technique to electrokinetic injection for use in continuous sample flow electrophoresis microchips. During chip operation, sample and buffer solutions are electrokinetically driven near to the entrance ...

An apparatus for retaining magnetic particles in self-assembled magnetic particle structures in a liquid flow, comprises a micro-channel (5) and magnets (1,2) for generating a substantially static magnetic field across the micro-channel (5) such that magne ...

In this paper, we demonstrate a bead-based microfluidic immunoassay using self-assembled streptavidin-coated bead micropatterns. The beads are assembled on the microfluidic channel surface using electrostatic forces between the negatively-charged streptavi ...

We present two types of oscillating diaphragm micropumps configured with passive ball valves and using electromagnetic actuation. One type is made out of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), while the other one is made out of borosilicate glass. Both were pro ...

We propose an original concept to perform a complete on-chip sandwich immunoassay on magnetic nanoparticles that are self-assembled in chains in a uniform magnetic field. The magnetic chains are retained over periodically enlarged cross sections of a micro ...

We discuss the successful transport of jurkat cells and 5D10 hybridoma cells using a reciprocating micropump with nozzle-diffuser elements. The effect of the pumping action on cell viability and proliferation, as well as on the damaging of cellular membran ...

Since the introduction of the of Micro Total Analysis Systems concept in 1990, important progress in microfluidic analytical systems has been realized. In many cases, microfluidic systems have shown improved analytical performances over classical methods, ...

We present the microfabrication and characterisation of a ball valve micropump in glass, which is magnetically actuated using the sinusoidal current of an external electromagnet. We employ the use of a simple powder blasting technology for microstructuring ...
