Microfluidics and Rheology of Carbon Black Dilute Suspensions: Modeling, Measurement, and Applications

Aramphongphun C., Hemminger O., Castro J.M., Lee L.J., The Ohio State University, US
Rheology and microfluidics are essential and challenging topics in designing microfluidic devices and materials processing. A study of rheological properties (e.g. viscosity) of complex fluids becomes more important in the flow at microscale due to [...]

Microfluidic System for Assessing the Controllability of MC-1 Magnetotactic Bacteria as Carriers in Micro-channels

Lu Z., Martel S., NanoRobotics Laboratory, CA
A novel micromanipulation method using Magnetotactic Bacteria to push micro-objects is proposed. The controllability of MC-1 Magnetotactic Bacteria in micro-channels is verified through microfluidic device with implemented micro-electromagets. After introducation of microfabrication procedure and experiment [...]

AC Electroosmotic Fluid Flow in Electrolytes Generated by Two Coplanar Microelectrodes

Adamiak K., University of Western Ontario, CA
AC electroosmotic pumping of fluids is studied in the model consisting of two thin coplanar electrodes, deposited on a dielectric substrate and placed in an aqueous solution. An AC voltage is supplied to the electrodes [...]

Coin-Shaped Reactor in Microfluidic Devices Used for Radiopharmaceutical Synthesis

Elizarov A.M., Kolb H.C., van Dam R.M., Heath J.R., Padgett H.C., Huang J., Daridon A., California Institute of Technology, US
A microfluidic device designed and optimized for the multi-step synthesis of PET (Positron Emisssion Tomography) probes is presented. It is the first device in its class to produce radiopharmaceuticals of sufficient quality and quantity (over [...]

Superhydrophobic Nanowire Surfaces for Drop Movement Using Magnetic Fields

Egatz-Gomez A., Melle S., García A.A., Lindsay S., Rubio M.A., Domínguez P., Picraux T., Taraci J., Clement T., Hayes M., Gust D., Arizona State University, US
We present a novel method to control water drop movement on superhydrophobic surfaces through magnetic fields. Water drops with paramagnetic particles can be moved on fractal Si-nanowire superhydrophobic surfaces at high speeds by displacing a [...]

A Lab-on-a-Chip using Magnetic Droplets

Lehmann U., Parashar V.K., Vandevyver C., Gijs M.A.M., EPFL, CH
We present a chip-based bio-analysis system using the two dimensional (2D) magnetic manipulation of microdroplets. The latter contain magnetic microparticles which serve as force mediators for the droplet actuation. In combination with a changeable field [...]

Rapid Detection of Multiple Myeloma using a microfluidic platform

Kaigala G., VanDjinkin J., Taylor B.J., Backhouse C.J., Pilarski L.M., University of Alberta, CA
MM has a unique molecular signature and is well suited as a model system for performing analysis on microchips. MM multiplex genetic analysis for clonotypic signatures and genetic abnormalities offers the possibility for genetic profiling [...]

A Computational Model with Experimental Validation for DNA Flow in Microchannels

Nonaka A., Gulati S., Trebotich D., Miller G.H., Muller S., Liepmann D., UC Davis / Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, US
We compare a computational model to experimental data for DNA-laden flow in microchannels. The purpose of this work in progress is to validate a new numerical algorithm for viscoelastic flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid. Significant [...]

Computational Modeling of a Piezoelectrically Actuated Microvalve for the Control of Liquid Flowrate

Saeidi S.M., Khodadadi J.M., Johnson C.A., Lee C., Yang E.H., Auburn University, US
Computational modeling of liquid flow in a piezoelectrically actuated microvalve is discussed. A 3-D structured mesh with 330,000 hexahedral cells that represents the major features of the microvalve was generated for the numerical model. Due [...]

Microfabrication of 3D Structures Using Novel Thermoplastic Elastomers

Sudarsan A.P., Wang J., Ugaz V.M., Texas A&M University, US
We demonstrate the use of novel thermoplastic elastomers synthesized by dissolving readily available polystyrene–(polyethylene/ polybutylene)–polystyrene (SBS/SEBS) triblock copolymers (e.g., Kraton™ G series) in hydrocarbon oils for which the ethylene/butylene midblocks are selectively miscible. The insoluble [...]
