Due to the risks that water contamination implies for human health and environmental
protection, monitoring the quality of water is a major concern of the present era. Therefore, in …

There has been a consistent increase in output related to the development and application
of optical chemical sensors since∼ 1980. The rise of activity was linked to the major …

In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike. Similarly, no two cells in a
genetically identical group are the same. This heterogeneity at the single-cell level has been …

Abstract In Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (CEOR), various chemicals such as polymer,
surfactant, alkaline, and nanoparticles are injected solely or in combination to mobilize the …

We demonstrate a cellphone-based rapid-diagnostic-test (RDT) reader platform that can
work with various lateral flow immuno-chromatographic assays and similar tests to sense the …

The field of microfluidics has yet to develop practical devices that provide real clinical value.
One of the main reasons for this is the difficulty in realizing low-cost, sensitive, reproducible …

Lab-on-a-chip has evolved into a powerful analytical tool that combines multiple disciplines
for biomedical research. The microfluidic reactor in lab-on-a-chip is regarded as a critical …

Micro-Total Analysis Systems (µTAS) for use in on-site rapid detection of DNA or RNA are
increasingly being developed. Here, amplification of the target sequence is key to increasing …
