Placement Algorithm for Flow-Based Microfluidic Biochips
Microfluidic biochips revolutionize biology by placing laboratory functionality on a very small chip. The subject of this thesis is a flow-based biochip, which consists of thin channels in which fluids flow. The basic building block of the chip is a valve, which can direct the flow by blocking or unblocking channels. The valves are combined to create components like switches, mixers, and mul-ti...
متن کاملFault Tolerant DNA Computing Based on Digital Microfluidic Biochips
Historically, DNA molecules have been known as the building blocks of life, later on in 1994, Leonard Adelman introduced a technique to utilize DNA molecules for a new kind of computation. According to the massive parallelism, huge storage capacity and the ability of using the DNA molecules inside the living tissue, this type of computation is applied in many application areas such as me...
متن کاملDigital-Microfluidic Biochips
D igital-micro uidic biochips (DMFBs) are revolutionizing laboratory procedures for point-of-care clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and drug discovery. DMFBs allow bioassay protocols to be scaled down to droplet size. They’re executed by enabling precise control of discrete droplets using a patterned array of electrodes. Biochemistry’s inherent complexity means that operational er...
متن کاملSynthesis of Digital Microfluidic Biochips with Reconfigurable Operation Execution
Microfluidic biochips are an alternative to conventional biochemical laboratories, and are able to integrate on-chip all the necessary functions for biochemical analysis. The " digital " biochips are manipulating liquids not as a continuous flow, but as discrete droplets on a two-dimensional array of electrodes. The main objective of this thesis is to develop top-down synthesis techniques for d...
متن کاملDesign and Optimization for Digital Microfluidic Biochips
Microfluidic-based biochips are soon revolutionizing clinical diagnostics and many biochemical laboratory procedures due to their advantages of automation, cost reduction, portability, and efficiency [18]. Conventional technology depends on the manipulation of continuous liquid flow through microfabricated channels. However, actuation of flow is implemented with external assistance of micro-pum...
