Microfluidic Method for Thermal Cycling by Microwave Dielectric Heating

November 9, 2006
Author(s)
Pierre-Alain Auroux, Jayna J. Shah, James Booth, Mulpuri Rao, Laurie E. Locascio, Michael Gaitan
We report on temperature time domain and spectral measurements for on-chip microwave thermocycling. In particular we observe enhanced specificity of the heating of a targeted sample compared to conventional heating block-based thermocyclers. Spatial

Photopatterned Polyelectrolyte Multilayers for Cell Culture

November 9, 2006
Author(s)
Darwin Reyes-Hernandez, J. Brian Hutchison, Laurie E. Locascio, Michael Gaitan
Patterned two-dimensional cell cultures are increasingly important for constructing bioanalytical tools for cell and molecular biology to address questions about interactions, signaling, migration, and differentiation, among others. This contribution

The Study of the U.S. Measurement System for Micro Nano Technologies

September 1, 2006
Author(s)
Richard A. Allen, Craig McGray, Michael Gaitan
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has launched an ambitious assessment of the nation''s decentralized measurement system, that is far more encompassing than the few studies done over the last several decades. The aim is to determine

Capillarity Induced Solvent?Actuated Bonding of Polymeric Microfluidic Devices

April 12, 2006
Author(s)
Jayna J. Shah, Jon C. Geist, Laurie E. Locascio, Michael Gaitan, Rao Mulpuri, Wyatt N. Vreeland
Rapid, robust and economical fabrication of fluidic microchannels is of fundamental importance for the successful development of disposable lab-on-a-chip devices. In this work, we present a solvent-actuated bonding method for fabricating polymeric

Ag/AgCl Microelectrodes with Improved Stability for Microfluidics

March 30, 2006
Author(s)
Brian J. Polk, Anna Stelzenmuller, Geraldine I. Mijares, William A. MacCrehan, Michael Gaitan
A method for fabricating Ag/AgCl planar microelectrodes for microfluidic applications is presented. Microreference electrodes enable accurate measurements with miniaturized chemical sensors but such electrodes often exhibit very limited useable lifetimes
