The Discovery and Optimisation of Solid State Nano-materials for Energy and Electronics Sectors using MBE based Methodologies

Hayden B., Ilika Technologies LLC, UK

A high-throughput thin film methodology based on combining molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) atomic sources which can be combined with a high intensity plasma atom source is described. Compositional gradients of both amorphous and crystalline materials [...]

Protective Sensor Coatings for High-Throughput Screening of Hydrogen-Producing Microbes

Pryce Lewis H., GVD Corporation, US

Microbe-based hydrogen production is a potentially cost-effective, non-polluting approach to the production of hydrogen. Research efforts are underway to identify, isolate, and enhance microbial strains which facilitate direct sunlight-to-hydrogen conversion. These efforts are hampered by [...]

A capillary effect based microfluidic system for high throughput screening of yeast cells

Mirzaei M., Juncker D., McGill University, CA

Microfluidic systems have been developed and used for high throughput cell-based assays successfully. However, these systems require complicated peripherals and a computer to control the flow, which limits their adoption by biologists. Here, we propose [...]

High-Throughput Screening Devices Based on Hydrophobic Microfluidics

Chen J.J., Yang H.J., Wu J.W., Parng S.H., Yu T.M., Industrial Technology Research Institute, TW

In this work, we developed a microfluidic assay for determination of the individual cell’s response to chemical exposure. Microfluidic chips comprisd four channels were fabricated on polystyrene (PS) substrates via mechanical milling processes, and covered [...]
