Low-power / High-temperature sensors and MEMS in SOI technology
Moreno-Hagelsieb L., Bulteel O., André N., Gerard P., Raskin J-P, Flandre D., Université catholique de Louvain / SENSOI, BE
Low-power and high-temperature sensors and MEMS designs based on bulk, SOI and IC compatible materials and processes. Target markets are in general public sensors for UV, ozone, CO, liquids presence, e.g. in mobile devices. In [...]
Mathematical modeling and computer simulation of Brownian motion and hybridization of nanoparticle-bioprobe-polymer complexes in the low concentration limit
We present a mathematical model and the computer simulation of Brownian motion of nanoparticle-bioprobe-polymer contrast agent complexes and their hybridization to immobilized targets. Our model is a stochastic counterpart of the continuous model presented in [...]
Intracellular Analysis by SERRS and Nanoparticles
Stevenson R., Senior L., Alexander J., Geboers M., Faulds K., Graham D., University of Strathclyde, UK
We report the first use of ‘bare’ nanoparticles as both a cellular delivery vehicle and a spectroscopic detection platform to enable surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) detection. We have shown how this approach can [...]
Biological robotics and nanorobot red cells: Characterization and applications
In human body, nanorobot-like red blood cells get exposed to human body fluids and many physico-chemical changes inside while these nanorobots (fullerene structure coated hemoglobin embedded iron inorganic elements) remain safe and perform killer action [...]
Integrated polymer-based microfluidic device for DNA preparation in pyrosquencer
Khuntontong P., Kua C.H., Gong M., Foo I.S.H., Goel S., Wang Z.P., Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology, SG
We present a polymer-based microfluidic device capable of performing various DNA preparation processes like enzymatic, end repairing, and purification. The system consisted of a disposable polymeric chip and a controlling unit. Mixing chambers, incubation chambers [...]
Facile Fabrication of an Enzyme Microreactor Using Magnetic Microbeads
In this paper, we present a simple method to fabricate an enzyme microreactor using soft lithography and magnetic microbeads. For proof of concept, we performed an enzymatic reaction by flowing non-fluorescent resazurin through diaphorase (DI) [...]
Express Control of Toxicity and Content of Patulin by Optical Biosensors
Starodub N.F., Pilipenko I.V., Pilipenko L.N., Pilipenko I.V., Pilipenko L.N., Katsev A.M., National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, UA
In this report the experimental data about the determination of P toxicity by optical biosensors based on the application of chemiluminescence (ChL) of Daphnia magna living media (ChL-test) and bioluminescence (BL) of Ukrainian strains of [...]
A novel on chip analysis of dissolved Hg(II) in drinking water
Deshpande K., Mishra R.K., Pal S., Danielsson B., Willander M., Bhand S., Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani-Goa Campus, IN
A novel biochip based detection for determination of ultra trace mercury (Ii), lead(II) and cadmium (II)in drinking water. High through put analysis, low sample volume, high sensitivity and rapid analysis is the hallmark of the [...]
