Bottom-up Nanofabrication of Crystalline Structures of Magnetic Nanoparticles

Xue X., Furlani E.P., SUNY at Buffalo, US

A bottom-up approach to the nanofabrication of three-dimensional (3D) crystalline structures of magnetic core-shell nanoparticles is presented. The approach is based on self-assembly and involves the use of soft-magnetic template elements to guide the assembly [...]

A Simple Method for Fabrication of Microarrays and Microfluidic Device Using PDMS Stamp

Lee H., Koh D., Oh K.W., SUNY at Buffalo, US

We describe a simple micro-fabrication method by using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamp on a glass substrate. While the microwells used previously facilitated the cell-to-cell formation by PDMS stamping method, not only should it be carefully controlled [...]

A Simple and Robust Fabrication of Microwell Array by Pdms on a Glass Substrate for Cell-To-Cell Adhesion

Lee H., Row S., Xu L., Andreadis S.T., Oh K.W., SUNY at Buffalo, US

We describe a simple micro-fabrication method by using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) patterns on a glass substrate that enables simultaneous control of cell-to-cell adhesion. While the microwells used previously facilitated the cell-to-cell formation by PDMS stamping method, [...]

Field-directed and Template-assisted Magnetic Nanoparticle Self-assembly

Xue X., Furlani E.P., SUNY at Buffalo, US

The interest in field-directed assembly of colloidal magnetic nanoparticles has grown steadily in recent years due to a proliferation of applications including targeted drug therapy, biomedical imaging, among others. Such self-assembly holds promise as a [...]

A Microfluidic Platform for Parallel Synchronization of Multiple Droplets by Ladder-Like Fluidic Network

Lee H., Xu L., Oh K.W., SUNY at Buffalo, US

We present a method for a parallel synchronization of multiple droplets with different concentrations in a continuous flow manner. Our previous device was modified (e.g., a synchronized droplet pairing (n=2) using a ladder-like fluidic network) [...]

Syringe-Assisted Point-Of-Care Pumping

Xu L., Lee H., Oh K.W., SUNY at Buffalo, US

By utilizing the high gas permeability of PDMS, a simple syringe-assisted micropumping method is presented. A constant, controllable pumping rate ranging from 0.3 to 4 nl/s was achieved by controlling the gap distance (g) and [...]
