Microfluidic Device Control System Based on Segmented Temperature Sensor

Bubble-based Continuous Separation System in Microfluidic Device

Here we present a continuous molecule separation/concentration system using flowing microbubbles as carriers. Microbubbles continuously generated at the microchannel confluence are able to capture target substances dissolved in the liquid phase, and these bubble carriers are concentrated by continuously removing liquid phase from the stream to achieve the continuous molecule separation. In the ...

Miniaturized lead sensor based on lead-specific DNAzyme in a nanocapillary interconnected microfluidic device.

A miniaturized lead sensor has been developed by combining a lead-specific DNAzyme with a microfabricated device containing a network of microfluidic channels that are fluidically coupled via a nanocapillary array interconnect. A DNAzyme construct, selective for cleavage in the presence of Pb2+ and derivatized with fluorophore (quencher) at the 5' (3') end of the substrate and enzyme strands, r...

Autonomous Temperature Sensor Based on a Photovoltaic Energy Harvesting System

In this paper we present an autonomous temperature sensor supplied by a on chip photovoltaic energy harvester. Then system is realized in a BCD SOI technology. The energy harvesting elements consist of a 34 trench-insulated p-n junctions, while the sensing system consists of a bandgap reference circuit, including an integrated high precision temperature sensor, and a high voltage low drop-out v...
