Using polymer materials to fabricate microfluidic devices provides simple, cost effective, and
disposal advantages for both lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices and micro total analysis systems …

The necessity of disease models for bone/cartilage related disorders is well-recognized, but
the barrier between ex-vivo cell culture, animal models and the real human body has been …

Polymers have assumed the leading role as substrate materials for microfluidic devices in
recent years. They offer a broad range of material parameters as well as material and …

Multiple methods of fabrication exist for microfluidic devices, with different advantages
depending on the end goal of industrial mass production or rapid prototy** for the …

Written at a level comprehensible to non-experts, this handbook covers the current state of
encapsulation and controlled released technologies, presenting the fundamental processes …

Sepsis is a life-threatening immune response which is caused by a wide variety of sources
and is a leading cause of mortality globally. Rapid diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic …

Foodborne pathogenic bacteria present a crucial food safety issue. Conventional diagnostic
methods are time-consuming and can be only performed on previously produced food. The …

We present a novel approach for the ultra-rapid direct patterning of complex three-
