摘要: The present disclosure describes a blood oxygenator that includes a checkerboard layout of fluid (e.g., blood) and gas (e.g., oxygen) channels. When viewed as a cross-section through each of the channels of the oxygenator, the checkerboard configuration includes alternating gas and fluid channels in both the x-axis (e.g., in-plane) and in the y-axis (e.g., out-of-plane) directions. The oxygenator described herein reduces manufacturing complexity by using first, second, and third polymer layers that include asymmetrical channel designs. The channel designs include “open” gas channels, which are exposed to the ambient atmosphere. The oxygenator is placed within a pressure vessel to drive gas into each of the open gas channels, which in some implementations, negates the need for a gas manifold.

摘要: The present solution provides systems and methods for trans-round window membrane drug delivery. As an overview, a system can include a micropump that is connected to a flexible cannula. The cannula can be threaded through a handpiece that can be used to pierce the round window membrane of a patient. Using the handpiece, the cannula can be inserted through the round window membrane to improve the distribution of the delivered drug throughout the inner ear. The present solution can function as a small implantable or wearable device that can be used for both chronic and acute trans-round window membrane drug delivery. With this configuration, the micropump can constantly or intermittently deliver, over a period of days to months, small volumes of drugs from an internal reservoir.

摘要: A compact hydraulic manifold for transporting shear sensitive fluids is provided. A channel network can include a trunk and branch architecture coupled to a bifurcation architecture. Features such as tapered channel walls, curvatures and angles of channels, and zones of low fluid pressure can be used to reduce the size while maintaining wall shear rates within a narrow range. A hydraulic manifold can be coupled to a series of microfluidic layers to construct a compact microfluidic device.

摘要: A removable cartridge to be used in a system for extracting and detecting nucleic acids from heterogeneous samples includes a plurality of reservoirs defining at least a first wash buffer reservoir for holding a first wash buffer and a microfluidic assembly configured to attach to the plurality of reservoirs. The microfluidic assembly includes at least one sample reservoir and a nucleic acid extraction matrix in fluid communication to an automated sample preparation (ASP) reservoir through a first flow channel defined by the microfluidic assembly. An assay chamber is in fluid communication with a third flow channel and with the waste reservoir through a fourth flow channel such that a labeled nucleic acid-containing sample flows through the assay chamber and then to the waste reservoir, wherein vibration-driven mixing agitates fluids while present in the assay chamber. Finally, a nucleic acid-detecting microarray module is positioned in the assay chamber.

摘要: The present disclosure provides a handpiece for trans-canal delivery of a therapeutic substance to the inner ear. The handpiece can be inserted into the middle ear via a surgical tympanotomy approach. The handpiece can be integrated with a micropump and a fluid reservoir. The handpiece can enable a controlled injection of a therapeutic substance directly through the round window membrane and into the inner ear. The direct delivery of the therapeutic substance to the inner ear can enable the delivery of a precise amount of therapeutic substance into the inner ear. The micropump can include a self-contained fluid reservoir that can provide predetermined volumes of fluid to precise areas of the patient.
