... Abstract Swimming and transport of the photosynthetic alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in steady and oscillatory shear flows were investigated. Sinusoidal flow of algal suspension was generated in the microchannels using a microfluidic pressure-driven controller. The oscillating flow...

... Abstract This effort is focused on studying fluid instabilities in microfluidic devices using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis to provide preliminary data for suborbital microgravity flight experiments. The experiments will utilize a lens-free imaging (LFI) system to capture...

... motility. Hence, the motility behavior of cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. CPCC 534, and its relationship with aging were investigated in a closed microfluidic chip. The growth of Synechocystis cultures was followed from the lag phase, through exponential and linear growth up to the stationary phase...

... polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomers were implemented to fabricate a microfluidic chip to serve as a BOC/OOC. A mold was fabricated using 3D printing for performing soft lithography of the BOC (followed by bonding on to a glass slide). Neural organoids (spheroids) were dispensed into the BOC using a pipette. The BOC...

... diseases such as pre-eclampsia. In this research we focused on one of the major factors that affect trophoblast invasion, oxygen concentration. We designed a microfluidic device fabricated with Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) which can mimic the microenvironment of the placenta and control physiological...

... visits. Therefore, researchers are focusing to develop rapid, hand-held, inexpensive biosensors for detecting cardiac markers. In the present study, one of the cardiac markers (Troponin T) is detected using microfluidic based biosensor. Troponin T (cTnT) releases in to the blood serum within 4–6 h after...

.... The dynamics of liquid films inside of capil- laries is important to microfluidic flows. At high flow rates with gas-liquid flows,the dynamics of liquid films on the interior sur- faces of the microchannels can have a global affect on device operation. Measurement via optical microscopy of velocities...
