Bioanalytical applications, like the monitoring of metabolic processes, often require a continuous sample extraction. In this work we describe a microfluidic device which is able to subsequently extract samples in microliter range out of a continuous sample stream and provides an optional integrated channel for the measurement of the fluid pressure.

This poster describes how molecular testing at the point-of-care can increase time to results and yield rather specific information, concentrating on PCR on a chip layout which proves to be fast and robust.

This poster introduces an automated Lab-on-a-Chip system for reliable quantitative testing of mycotoxin contamination of animal feed developed in the framework of the EU-funded project micro- FLUID.

This poster shows how microfluidic components for the separation of plasma from full blood can be cost-effective, with reliable processing and the production of quality plasma.

Study shows monolith synthesis in COC microchip, including: the influence of BME concentration on performances; the separations of primary amines.

This poster compares the volumes of sample solutions delivered by an array of stainless steel and hydrophobic-coated pins as measured by a fluorescent-dye approach versus a dual-dye absorbance approach.

True Point of Care medical devices place unique demand on micropump characteristics. SFC Fluidics ePump is an innovative electrochemical pumping system that is different from other microfluidic pumps.

This poster demonstrates cyclic liquid chromatography on chip and shows how this can be used in other closed loop applications.

Two one time use valve strategies have been successfully demonstrated in a completely sealed assay chip. They were also shown to be feasible for on chip reagent storage.

Microfluidic electrochemical biosensor based on Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) was developed for detection and quantification of E.coli. The electrochemical detection was achieved using Hoechst 33258 redox molecule and linear sweep voltametry (LSV). Here, we detect and quantify 48 CFU/ml of bacteria in 35 min in LB media and urine samples. This microfluidic chip has great potential to be used as a point of care diagnostic (POC) device for clinical application.
