Spinning magnetic trap for automated microfluidic assay systems.
While sophisticated analyses have been performed using lab-on-chip devices, in most cases the sample preparation is still performed off chip. The global need for easy-to-use, disposable testing devices necessitates that sample processing is automated and that transport complexity between the processing and analytical components is minimal. We describe a complete sample manipulation unit for per...
متن کاملAn active bubble trap and debubbler for microfluidic systems.
We present a novel, fully integrated microfluidic bubble trap and debubbler. The 2-layer structure, based on a PDMS valve design, utilizes a featured membrane to stop bubble progression through the device. A pneumatic chamber directly above the trap is evacuated, and the bubble is pulled out through the gas-permeable PDMS membrane. Normal device operation, including continuous flow at atmospher...
متن کاملAutomated microfluidic processing platform for multiplexed magnetic bead immunoassays.
A microfluidic platform is presented which fully automates all incubation steps of a three-stage, multiplexed magnetic bead immunoassay, such as the Luminex® xMAP technology. Magnetic actuation is used to transfer the microbeads between co-infused adjacent laminar flow streams to transport the beads into and out of incubation and wash solutions, with extended incubation channels to allow suffic...
متن کاملCost Function Modelling for Semi-automated SC, RTG and Automated and Semi-automated RMG Container Yard Operating Systems
This study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated Straddle Carrier (SC), Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) and automated Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) container yard operating cranes. It develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...
متن کاملIn situ single cell detection via microfluidic magnetic bead assay
We present a single cell detection device based on magnetic bead assay and micro Coulter counters. This device consists of two successive micro Coulter counters, coupled with a high gradient magnetic field generated by an external magnet. The device can identify single cells in terms of the transit time difference of the cell through the two micro Coulter counters. Target cells are conjugated w...
