Effective pathogen detection is an essential prerequisite for the prevention and treatment of
infectious diseases. Despite recent advances in biosensors, infectious diseases remain a …

Due to the lack of development in the area of sample preparation, few complete lab-on-a-
chip systems have appeared in recent years that can deal with raw samples. Cell lysis and …

Rapid pathogen sensing remains a pressing issue today since conventional identification
methodsare tedious, cost intensive and time consuming, typically requiring from 48 to 72 h …

There have been a number of cases of foodborne illness among humans that are caused by
pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157: H7, Salmonella typhimurium, etc. The current …

The present review concerns the recent developments of nucleic acid biosensors for
detection of the human pathogens as infectious diseases management at an early stage is …

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method typically active in genetic research,
especially to amplify or copy genes. Herein, the application of microfluidic devices for …

Cell lysis is a process in which the outer cell membrane is broken to release intracellular
constituents in a way that important information about the DNA or RNA of an organism can …

We present a simple microfluidic platform that uses biocompatible ferrofluids for the
controlled manipulation and rapid separation of both microparticles and live cells. This low …

Intracellular components containing information about genetic and disease characteristics
are key substances to clinical diagnostics. Cell lysis is therefore a crucial step for efficient …
