BACKGROUND Many key global sustainability challenges are closely intertwined
(examples are provided in the figure). These challenges include air pollution, biodiversity …

Recent advances in the lab-on-a-chip field in association with nano/microfluidics have been
made for new applications and functionalities to the fields of molecular biology, genetic …

We demonstrate a high performance microfabricated FACS system with highly integrated
microfluidics, optics, acoustics, and electronics. Single cell manipulation at a high speed is …

Microfluidics and photonics come together to form a field commonly referred to as
'optofluidics'. Flow cytometry provides the field with a technology base from which both …

The last decade has witnessed tremendous advances in employing microfluidic solutions

We demonstrate a low-power (< 0.1 mW), low-voltage (< 10 V pp) on-chip piezoelectrically
actuated micro-sorter that can deflect single particles and cells at high-speed. With …

The use of optical dielectrophoresis (ODEP) to manipulate microparticles and biological
cells has become increasingly popular due to its tremendous flexibility in providing …

We describe a microfluidic device for generating nonlinear (exponential and sigmoidal)
concentration gradients, coupled with a microwell array for cell storage and analysis. The …
