▪ Abstract Soft lithography, a set of techniques for microfabrication, is based on printing and
molding using elastomeric stamps with the patterns of interest in bas-relief. As a technique …

▪ Abstract Fluid flow at the microscale exhibits unique phenomena that can be leveraged to
fabricate devices and components capable of performing functions useful for biological …

The relationship between the mechanical properties of cells and their molecular architecture
has been the focus of extensive research for decades. The cytoskeleton, an internal polymer …

When a dielectric object is placed between two opposed, nonfocused laser beams, the total
force acting on the object is zero but the surface forces are additive, thus leading to a …

Systems approaches to disease are grounded in the idea that disease-perturbed protein
and gene regulatory networks differ from their normal counterparts; we have been pursuing …

We describe the formation and control of nanoscale, submerged fluid jets. The focusing
process necessary to achieve these small length scales is characterized experimentally and …

We have demonstrated a disposable microfabricated fluorescence-activated cell sorter
(μFACS) for sorting various biological entities. Compared with conventional FACS …

Over the recent decades there has been tremendous progress in understanding and
controlling friction between surfaces in relative motion. However the complex nature of the …

▪ Abstract Accurate, fast, and affordable analysis of the cellular component of blood is of
prime interest for medicine and research. Yet, most often sample preparation procedures for …

A review of microfluidic devices for cellomics is presented. After a brief description of the
historical background of Lab-on-Chip (LOC) devices, different areas are reviewed. Devices …
