Chaotic mixing using source-sink microfluidic flows in a PDMS chip

Martinus Gijs, Abdeljalil Sayah, Caroline Vandevyver, Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin, Ata Tuna Ciftlik, Venkataragavalu Sivagnanam

We present an active fixed-volume mixer based on the creation of multiple source–sink microfluidic flows in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chip without the need of external or internal pumps. To do so, four different pressure-controlled actuation chambers a ...

3D Structuration Techniques of LTCC for Microsystems Applications

Yannick Sébastien Fournier

This thesis aimed at developing new 3D structuration techniques for a relatively recent new ceramic technology called LTCC, which stands for Low Temperature, Co-fired Ceramic. It is a material originally developed for the microelectronic packaging industry ...

Investigation of hot roller embossing for microfluidic devices

Nico de Rooij

Microfluidics for most bio-related diagnostic applications typically requires single usage disposable chips to avoid bio-fouling and cross-contamination. Individual piece-wise manufacturing of polymeric microfluidic devices has been widely employed in rece ...

Dielectrophoresis-based continuous-flow particle microreactor

Raphaël Tornay

This thesis mainly deals with the integration of a microfluidic system for the extraction of micrometric and submicrometric particles from a solution. Traditional methods take from several minutes to hours to separate particles from a solution. Microfluidi ...

Miniaturized bioanalytics to probe the function of membrane proteins

Pedro Pascoal

G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most abundant class of proteins in the cell body. Such receptors are of major interest as potential therapeutic targets. Downscaling and parallelization of bioanalytics opens novel routes to rapidly screen and id ...
