    摘要: A microfluidic separation device includes a microchannel formed in a substrate and being defined at least by a bottom surface, a first side wall, and second side wall. Fluid containing particles or cells is flowed through the microchannel from an upstream end to a downstream end. The downstream end terminates in a plurality of branch channels. A plurality of vertically-oriented electrodes are disposed on the first wall and on the second wall opposite to the first wall. A voltage source is connected to the plurality of opposing electrodes to drive the electrodes. The opposing, vertically-oriented electrodes may be used to focus a heterogeneous population of particles or cells for subsequent downstream separation via additional electrodes placed on one of the side walls. Alternatively, the opposing, vertically-oriented electrodes may be used to spatially separate a heterogeneous population of particles or cells for later collection in one or more of the branch channels.

    摘要: A magnetohydrodynamic fluidic system includes a reagent source containing a reagent fluid and a sample source containing a sample fluid that includes a constituent. A reactor is operatively connected to the supply reagent source and the sample source. MHD pumps utilize a magnetohydrodynamic drive to move the reagent fluid and the sample fluid in a flow such that the reagent fluid and the sample fluid form an interface causing the constituent to be separated from the sample fluid.

    摘要: An implantable chemical sensor system for medical applications is described which permits selective recognition of an analyte using an expandable biocompatible sensor, such as a polymer, that undergoes a dimensional change in the presence of the analyte. The expandable polymer is incorporated into an electronic circuit component that changes its properties (e.g., frequency) when the polymer changes dimension. As the circuit changes its characteristics, an external interrogator transmits a signal transdermally to the transducer, and the concentration of the analyte is determined from the measured changes in the circuit. This invention may be used for minimally invasive monitoring of blood glucose levels in diabetic patients.

    摘要: A magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) micropump and microsensor which utilizes micromachining to integrate the electrodes with microchannels and includes a magnet for producing magnetic fields perpendicular to both the electrical current direction and the fluid flow direction. The magnet can also be micromachined and integrated with the micropump using existing technology. The MHD micropump, for example, can generate continuous, reversible flow, with readily controllable flow rates. The flow can be reversed by either reversing the electrical current flow or reversing the magnetic field. By mismatching the electrodes, a swirling vortex flow can be generated for potential mixing applications. No moving parts are necessary and the dead volume is minimal. The micropumps can be placed at any position in a fluidic circuit and a combination of micropumps can generate fluidic plugs and valves.
