  2. 1. Small-Scale Sample Handling for Studies of Liquid Crystals and Lipid-Based Soft Matter

    Author : Gabriel Ohlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fluorescence microscopy; nanocell; Microfluidics; aquaporins; liquid crystals; membrane transport; phase transitions; QCM-D; soft matter; lipid bilayer;

    Abstract : In the field of sensing in general and biosensing in particular, there is a growing need for integratingminiaturised senor elements in microfluidic systems. The advantages are several, some of which being that the consumption of, often very expensive, sample material can be reduced; sampleexchange can be optimized; sensor performance in terms of detection limits can be improved and phenomena occurring on a very small, and even single-molecule, scale can be studied.

  4. 2. Sample handling in nanoscale chemistry

    Author : Erik Litborn; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Miniaturization is a strong on-going trend within analyticalchemistry. This has led to an increased demand for newtechnologies allowing smaller volumes of samples as well asreagents to be utilized. This thesis deals with the use of openchip-based reactors (vials); a concept that offers an increasedflexibility compared to the use of closed reactors. READ MORE

    Abstract : Stem cells have a great potential to bring about advancements in fields like developmental biology, drug discovery, cancer biology and tissue engineering. In order to be able to use stem cells to their full potential, it is important to have control over their behavior. READ MORE

  6. 4. Acoustic Standing Wave Manipulation of Particles and Cells in Microfluidic Chips

    Author : Andreas Lenshof; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; acoustic particle manipulation; separation; ultrasound; cell handling; particle handling; lab on a chip; Microsystem technology; microfluidics; standing waves;

    Abstract : The rise of MEMS and µTAS techniques has created a whole new family of microfluidic devices for a wide range of chemical and biomedical analyses to be performed on small Lab-on-a-chip platforms. The operations often include small samples of particle or cell suspensions on which separation, mixing, trapping or sorting is performed. READ MORE
