Self-Assembled Polystyrene Nanospheres for Plasmonic Enhancement in Biosensor Applications
The field of portable, point-of care biosensing has expanded in recent years to encompass a wide range of application areas, with detection of targets accomplished by a variety of techniques. Application-specific needs of further reduced [...]
LIF based fluorescent immunosensor using AP-SNs and QDs for quantitation of IgG anti Toxocara canis in human serum samples
Messina G.A., Aranda P.R., Pereira S.V., Bertolino F.A., Raba J., INQUISAL, National University of San Luis, CONICET, AR
Toxocariasis, one of the most common zoonotic infection worldwide, is caused by Toxocara canis (T. canis), or less commonly, Toxocara cati [1,2]. In humans, the infection is acquired by oral route through accidental ingestion of [...]
Real-time bacterial capture and sorting using dielectrophoresis and electroosmosis
Fluid-Screen, Inc. presents a bacterial capture and sorting method based on dielectrophoresis (DEP) and electroosmosis (EO). These electronic phenomena have been known to influence particle motion and capture since the 1960’s, however, technology based on [...]

Interaction of a millimeter sized droplet on the powder substrates and study of capillarity in porous media flow
Droplet impact on powder materials is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature and engineering technologies including powder-binder based 3D printing, wet granulation, spray drying, powder coating, agricultural sprays, water erosion of soil, and raindrops landing on [...]
Two-phase spontaneous capillary microflows and the transport of capillary wagons
Berthier E., Berthier J., Brakke K., Lee Jing, Gosselin D., Navarro F., Theberge A., Berthier E., Berthier J., CEA-LETI, FR
The use of capillarity to move fluids at the microscale has been soaring lately due to new applications in medicine, biology, biotechnology, energy, thermic and space. Especially of interest are open capillary channels. These channels [...]
Numerical Analysis of Acoustophoretic Discrete Particle Focusing in Microchannels
Karampelas I.H., Gómez-Pastora J., Cowan M.J., Bringas E., Ortiz I., Furlani E.P., Flow Science Inc., US
Acoustophoretic particle focusing is a modern and very attractive method of removing a variety of objects from solutions in a microfluidic channel [1]. The process is inherently general and can be readily extended for multiple [...]
CFD analysis of particle magnetophoresis in multiphase continuous-flow bioseparators
The use of magnetic particles has recently expanded for a process known as detoxification in which different toxins and microorganisms are captured from the bloodstream of septic patients. Magnetic particle-based detoxification has been successfully applied [...]
Numerical Investigation Of Rigid Microparticles Dynamics: Aggregation And Clogging Phenomena In Microfluidics By Discrete Element Method (DEM) And CFD Coupling
Microfluidics has achieved a positive response in the industrial sector in the last two decades, i.e., due to its minute size plus control over all the chemical and physical properties at various flow rates (Re~1-10) [...]
