Single cell investigations have enabled unexpected discoveries, such as the existence of
biological noise and phenotypic switching in infection, metabolism and treatment. Herein …

This paper describes a microfluidic system and a technique for electrically measuring the
deformability of red blood cells (RBCs). RBCs are deformed when they flow through a small …

Technologies that can detect and characterize particulates in liquids have applications in
health, food, and environmental monitoring. Simply counting the numbers of cells or …

Coulter counters (aka resistive pulse sensors) were widely used to measure the size of
biological cells and colloidal particles. One of the important parameters of Coulter counters …

We report that a single hollow core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF) can be used for repetitive
characterization of multiple samples by Raman spectroscopy. This was achieved by …

Traditionally, a resistive pulse sensor (also known as Coulter counter) works by letting a
particle pass through a small orifice in an electrolyte solution. The detection sensitivity …
