The traditional requirement for clean rooms and specialized skills has inhibited many
biologists from pursuing new microfluidic innovations. Makerspaces provide a growing …

The application of lab-on-a-chip technologies in in vitro cell culturing swiftly resulted in
improved models of human organs compared to static culture insert-based ones. These chip …

Recent technological advancements in wearable sensors have made it easier to detect
sweat components, but our limited understanding of sweat restricts its application. A critical …

Biomicrofluidic devices and organ-on-a-chip (OOC) systems with integrated membranes are
often fabricated from two different thermoplastic materials but bonding of such dissimilar …

Efficient mixing of fluids in lab-on-a-chip devices is very important for many biomedical and
biochemical applications. Lab-on-a-foil as a novel concept provides a method for fast …

We see affordability as a key challenge in making organs-on-chips accessible to a wider
range of users, particularly outside the highest-resource environments. Here, we present an …

In this study, we investigated the effects of adhesive tape structure, adhesive tape thickness
(30, 60, and 80 μm), and bonding time (5 and 15 seconds) on the bonding of inflexible and …

A compact, cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA), using radio frequency signals to
identify different liquids is proposed in this paper. The proposed CDRA sensor is excited by …

In this paper, off-the-shelf materials such as polyethylene terephthalate films and double-
sided tapes are applied to create lab-on-a-foil microfluidic devices via a cutting plotter …

With the development of microfluidic technology, new materials and fabrication methods
have been constantly invented in the field of microfluidics. Bonding is one of the key steps …
