Functionalized Bead Based Microchip for Immunoassay and Virus Immuno-affinity Chromatography
DownloadFall 2014
We demonstrate the functionalization of a highly ordered porous molecular sieving matrix created by colloidal self-assembly (CSA) of 2 micrometer diameter silica particles in microfluidic chips, for highly efficient immuno-capture of viruses. By tuning the particle size, with appropriate surface...

Spring 2020
In this study, we present a new application of droplet microfluidics in the field of mineral flotation with reactive oily microbubbles (Gas-in-Oil-in-Water Emulsion). Different designs of devices were studied. Different flow regimes were found at different flowrate ratios. We found the condition...

Fall 2015
An investigation of the velocity profile in a microscale (<5mm) channel using micro PIV technique is presented. Measuring the velocity profile in the microchannel becomes increasingly important with the improved attention to microscale devices. Theory dictates that flow in the channel has a...

Lab-on-a-Chip Designs for Airborne Spore Detection: Towards the Forecasting of Sclerotinia Stem Rot of Canola
DownloadFall 2022
Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is one of the most devastating diseases affecting crops. More than 400 plant species around the globe are affected by this fungus. In canola, one of Canada’s most important crops, yield losses due to...

Fall 2014
Microfluidic fuel cell (MFC) devices are a promising route towards on-chip power generation for microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip systems. Current MFCs leverage fabrication techniques and materials that have been inherited from micromachining technology and macro-scale fuel cell devices. Both,...

Microfluidic Investigations of CO2 Mass Transport at Elevated Pressure and Salt Precipitation
DownloadFall 2021
Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) in geological reservoirs is one of the mitigation strategies to slow down the increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration due to human activities. Effectively characterizing the transport phenomena between CO2 and materials in reservoirs, including mass/heat...
