Salinity-Based Molecular Communication in Microfluidic Channels

Viscoelastic Based Droplet Sorting in Microfluidic Channels

We present a passive droplet sorting technique based on intrinsic viscoelastic fluid properties dependent on inner and outer fluid phase viscosity ratio (k-value), droplet deformability, and viscoelastic properties. We demonstrate sorting rates of >200 Hz of both homogeneous and heterogeneous sized droplet populations between 40-100 μm‟s and enrichment rates as high as 99%. We demonstrate sorti...

A Secure Chaos-Based Communication Scheme in Multipath Fading Channels Using Particle Filtering

In recent years chaotic secure communication and chaos synchronization have received ever increasing attention. Unfortunately, despite the advantages of chaotic systems, Such as, noise-like correlation, easy hardware implementation, multitude of chaotic modes, flexible control of their dynamics, chaotic self-synchronization phenomena and potential communication confidence due to the very dynami...

Nanoparticle Sorting in Microfluidic Channels

A device capable of detecting, characterizing and sorting nanoparticles and important biological targets would be an invaluable tool both for public health monitoring and for biomedical research. We describe the development of a microfluidic device that should permit the high-throughput sorting of nanoparticles, potentially able to sort hundreds to thousands of particles per second.

Kinetic ELISA in Microfluidic Channels

In this article, we describe the kinetic ELISA of Blue Tongue and Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease viral antibodies in microfluidic channels by monitoring the rate of generation of the enzyme reaction product under static conditions. It has been shown that this format of the immunoassay allows very reliable quantitation of the target species using inexpensive glass microchips and a standard epiflu...
