摘要:
A micro mixer for use in a microdevice which utilizes time-varying force fields to induce bulk fluid and/or sample component motion leading to homogenization of sample components. Time-varying force fields employed includes at least one of a physical displacement field, electrical field, pressure field or magnetic field to generate transverse forces which induce the mixing of samples within the micro mixer.

A microfluidic system for performing fluid analysis is described having: (a) a submersible housing having a fluid analysis means and a power supply to provide power to said system; and (b) a substrate for receiving a fluid sample, having embedded therein a fluid sample inlet, a reagent inlet, a fluid sample outlet, and a mixing region in fluid communication with the fluid sample inlet, the reagent inlet, and the fluid sample outlet, and wherein the substrate includes a fluid drive means for moving the fluid sample through the substrate, and wherein the substrate interconnects with the housing. At least a portion of the fluid analysis means may be embedded in the substrate.
摘要:
The invention relates to an emulsion that can be activated by ultrasounds, comprising, in an emulsion in an aqueous solution, microparticles having a diameter of less than 10 μm and containing an active agent and a gaseous precursor in a liquid form, encapsulated by a first emulsifier. The microparticles contain nanoparticles smaller than 1 μm, in an emulsion in the gaseous precursor, each nanoparticle comprising an inner liquid that contains the active agent and is encapsulated by a second emulsifier.
摘要:
A microfluidic device and method for producing and collecting single droplets of a first fluid, the device including a microfluidic platform having at least a droplet microchannel wherein is produced a flow of single droplets of the first fluid dispersed in a second fluid immiscible with the first fluid, the droplet microchannel having at least one inlet extremity and at least one outlet extremity for distributing the flow of droplets, the device further including: a collection device including a plurality of receiving areas adapted to collect at least one of the droplets, elements for changing the relative position of the collection device and the outlet of the microfluidic platform, elements for controlling the flow of droplets, and elements for synchronizing the flow of droplets at the outlet of the droplet microchannel and the relative movement of the collection device with regards to the microfluidic platform.
