We assessed xurography and laser ablation for the manufacture of passive micromixers arrays to explore the scalability of unconventional manufacture technologies that could be implemented under the restrictions of the Point of Care for developing countries. In this work, we present a novel split-and-recombine (SAR) array design adapted for interfacing standardized dispensing (handheld micropipe...

In this paper, for the first time, an on-chip optofluidic imaging system is innovated to measure the biophysical signature of single waterborne bacterium, including both the refractive index and morphology (size and shape), based on immersion refractometry. The key features of the proposed optofluidic imaging platform include (1) multiple sites for single bacterium trapping, which enable parall...
