Modeling Magnetic Transport of Nanoparticles with Application to Magnetofection

Furlani E.P., Ng K.C., University at Buffalo, US

Magnetic nanoparticles are finding increasing use in a broad range of bioapplications, primarily as carrier particles for biomaterials such as cells, proteins, antigens and DNA. The use of biofunctional magnetic particles enables selective immobilization and [...]

Integrated Thermal Modulation and Deflection of Viscous Microjets with Applications to Continuous Inkjet Printing

Furlani E.P., Ng K.C., Lopez A.G., Anagnostopoulos C., Eastman Kodak, US

We present a novel CMOS/MEMS microfluidic device that enables the controlled production and redirection of streams of picoliter-sized droplets at frequency rates in the hundreds of kilohertz range. This device consists of a pressurized reservoir [...]

Analysis of Magnetic Particle Capture in the Microvasculature

Furlani E.P., Ng K.C., Sahoo Y., University at Buffalo, US

An analytical model is described for predicting the capture of therapeutic magnetic nanoparticles in the microvasculature. The particles consist of a magnetic core coated with surface-bound anticancer agents, and are directed to a tumor using [...]
