  1. 1. Development of Microfluidic 3D Cell Culture with a Nanocellulose-Based Scaffold for Spheroid Formation as a Potential Tool for Drug Screening

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Sara Payande; [2022]
    Keywords : 3D cell culture; Scaffold; Microfluidics; Layer-by-Layer; Cellulose Nanofibrils; Spheroids; HepG2; 3D cellodling; Matris; Mikrofluidik; Layer-by-Layer; Cellulosa Nanofibriller; Sfäroider; HepG2;

    Abstract : Abstract  Lack of clinical relevance is assumed to be the main reason behind the high failure rate of medical drugs in the very initial phases of clinical trials. Clinical relevance is difficult to achieve with current tools as they lack the biological and physiological cues found in vivo. READ MORE

  2. 2. Design and fabrication of Si diaphragms for capacitive pressure sensors in high-pressure microfluidics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrosystemteknik

    Author : Elin Rosén; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The pressure has a major impact when it comes to control of chemical processes. A method for integrating electrical pressure sensors in high-pressure microfluidic chips has, however, so far not been developed and the aim of this project was therefore to study how capacitive pressure sensors could be designed and fabricated to measure pressures between 1-100 bar.

  3. 3. Mixing ratio determination of binary solvent mixtures in high-pressure microfluidics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrosystemteknik

    Author : Anton Wilson; [2017]
    Keywords : fluid; mixture; high-pressure; microfluidics;

    Abstract : The focus of this project is to find a suitable method to determine the mixing ratio inbinary fluid mixtures in continuous-flow microfluidic systems because of thedifficulties in doing so for mixtures containing compressible fluids. Refractive indexand relative static permittivity are both properties that could be suitable, but methodsmeasuring the refractive index scales badly for microsystems. READ MORE

  4. 4. Electrochemical microsensor with in-situ fabricated Ag/AgCl reference electrode for high-pressure microfluidics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrosystemteknik

    Author : Simon Södergren; [2017]
    Keywords : high pressure microfluidics; electrochemical microsensor; Ag AgCl reference electrode; Pt black;

    Abstract : Electroanalysis offers cheap and selective analysis of interesting solutions. However, one of the most common drawbacks is the accessibility for electrochemical sensing. By using high-pressure microfluidics with an integrated three-electrode system, new possibilities open for increased accessibility. READ MORE

  5. 5. Handling of long DNA - applications and polymer physics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Alexandra Kühnlein; [2016]
    Keywords : Biophysics; microfluidics; DLD; DNA; sorting; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis provides a proof of principle that deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) can be used to spatially separate DNA molecules by size. In order to achieve high separation quality, the pressure range, i.e. flow velocity has to be chosen carefully. READ MORE
