Analytical applications such as genotyping, gene expression analysis and digital PCR have been enabled and enhanced through the use of soft lithography–fabricated microfluidic platforms that ...

which now offers two microfluidics chip platforms—planar and sipper chips. Planar chips are manual solutions that require the user to pipette reagents into reservoirs on the chip. Caliper has ...

Microfluidic platforms address this limitation by enabling the creation of in vitro models that closely replicate the physiological conditions of the human heart. Microfluidics involves ...

Traditional methods, such as animal models, often fail to accurately predict human responses due to inherent biological differences. Microfluidic platforms address this limitation by enabling the ...

By incorporating electrodes into a chip, these droplets can be manipulated and positioned where required, thus providing a digital microfluidic device. Such an approach has been utilized to ...

It's not a one-trick pony, so to speak. –Aaron Streets, University of California, Berkeley These microvalves offered an improvement for conventional methods: They provided a powerful platform for ...

The VenaFlux Platform is the first semi-automated microfluidic platform capable of executing cell rolling, binding, adhesion and migration studies under shear flow mimicking in vivo flow rates.

Insights that we gain are applied to the rational design and fabrication of diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic platforms. A central theme to this research is an exploitation of microfabrication ...

Years ago, prototyping microfluidic systems was a long, time-intensive task. With inspiration from DIY PCB fabrication techniques, that time is now greatly reduced. However, even with the ...

Partnering with PhenoVista represents a significant step forward in this vision,” says Dr. Thierry Poumeyrol, Chief Business Officer of NETRI. “By combining our cutting-edge microfluidic platforms ...

Dr. Araci's work on implantable microfluidic intraocular pressure sensors (Nature Medicine, 2014) was featured on several media platforms (e.g., ABC7, Forbes, etc.). He also designed and fabricated ...
