Microfluidic technologies offer a number of advantages for sample preparation in point-of-
care testing (POCT), but the requirement for complicated external pum** systems limits …

Arsenic contamination of drinking water is a major global problem, with contamination in
Bangladesh deemed most serious. Although the current World Health Organisation (WHO) …

It has been more than 20 years since the first micro total analysis systems (μTAS) papers
were published. Initial reports of these devices, which are also commonly referred to as …

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a serious disease with high mortality that afflicts many
people around the world. The main cause of death from AMI was the inaccurate early …

Point-of-care (POC) and disposable biomedical applications demand low-power microfluidic
systems with pum** components that provide controlled pressure sources. Unfortunately …

Biomarker detection in whole blood enables understanding of the cause, progression,
relapse or outcome of treatment of a disease. Conventional biomarker detection techniques …

Here, we report an integrated operation of microfluidic pumps and valves only by finger
actuation. As the working principle of the finger-actuated microfluidic pumps includes …

Microfluidics has been widely used in the life science, analytical chemistry, environmental
science and other fields in the recent years. Traditional microfluidics systems usually use a …

In microfluidic systems, a pump for fluid-driving is often necessary. To keep the size of
microfluidic systems small, a pump that is small in size, light-weight and needs no external …

A blood cross-matching test should be carried out to prevent a hemolytic transfusion reaction
as the final verification step. To simplify complicated procedures of a conventional blood …
