摘要： A system and method for photo-thermal imaging of a lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) device are provided. The system includes an intensity modulated heat source directed at a surface of the LFA device to selectively excite chromophore particles of interest and a thermal capture device configured to capture thermal waves emitted from the surface of the LFA device as a radiometric signal. A computing device, in communication with the thermal capture device, receives the radiometric signal and executes lock-in demodulation to detect surface or subsurface inhomogeneities of the LFA device.

摘要： Systems and methods are provided that enable the magnetophoretic separation of magnetic particles using Dean flow in curved fluidic channels. In some example embodiments, a magnetic microparticle solution and a buffer solution are injected into a proximal region of a curved fluidic channel, and channel and fluidic parameters are selected to achieve solution exchange via Dean flow, such that the lateral positions of injected laminar fluid streams are inverted in a distal region of the channel. An applied magnetic field gradient is employed to retain the magnetic microparticles proximal to a channel side wall during the solution exchange process, such that magnetic microparticles are separated into the buffer solution. Various example device configurations are disclosed, including example configurations including one or more additional fluidic components for the further processing of separated magnetic particles.

摘要： A microfluidic centrifuge device for solution exchange and separation. The device includes a curved fluidic channel, a first inlet and a second inlet in fluid communication with a proximal end of the curved fluid channel, and a first outlet and a second outlet in fluid communication with a distal end of the curved fluidic channel. The curved fluidic channel has dimensions sufficient to direct a first subset of the microparticles to the first outlet by Dean drag and a second subset of the microparticles to the second outlet by inertial force.
