  1. 1. Microfluidic sorting of sperm for assisted reproduction - An evaluation of ZyMōt multi sperm separation device

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Emma Olofsson; [2023-06-22]
    Keywords : Assisted reproduction technologies Spermatozoa DNA fragmentation Density-gra- dient centrifugation Microfluidics ZyMōt Multi;

    Abstract : Infertility is a worldwide problem and the main reason for the use of assisted reproductive technol- ogy (ART). In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is one ART treatment normally used, where the fertilization of oocytes occurs in vitro. READ MORE

  3. 2. Development of a microfluidic device to study simultaneous crystallization in the LIBs recycling process

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Shefali Paresh Solanki; [2023]
    Keywords : Battery recycling; microfluidics; simultaneous crystallization; simulation; crystal technology; microfluidics experimental setup; Batteriåtervinning; mikrofluidik; simultan kristallisering; simulering; kristallteknologi; mikrofluidikexperimentuppställning;

    Abstract : Återvinning av litiumjonbatterier (LIB) är avgörande på grund av kritiska råmaterialreserver och miljöhänsyn vid kassering. Hydrometallurgisk LIB-återvinning, en framstående industriell teknik, står inför kostnadseffektivitets- och komplexitetsutmaningar. READ MORE

  4. 3. Microfluidic flow splitter shape optimization for high throughput

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Christoffer Papamoustos Palmér; Joel Linder; [2023]
    Keywords : Genetic algorithms; Lab-on-a-chip; Optimization; Acoustofluidics; Microfluidics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Due to an increasing incidence rate, the need for new effective methods for diagnosing cancer are of high importance. Studies have shown that circulating tumor cells, CTCs, have great potential as a diagnostic biomarker. Acoustophoresis is a label free method, capable of separating CTCs from red blood cells in a blood sample. READ MORE

  5. 4. Robust and Biocompatible Bonding of Hybrid Microfluidic Devices Using Off-Stoichiometric Thiol-ene Thermosets

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Peter Harris; [2023]
    Keywords : OSTE; OSTE ; Microfluidics; Thermoset; Bonding; Thermoplastics; Biocompatibility; OSTE; OSTE ; Mikrofluidik; Härdplast; Binding; Termoplaster; Biokompatibilitet;

    Abstract : Some of the major obstacles the microfluidics industry has yet to overcome in order to facilitate large scale manufacturing of devices are costly back-end processes. Among these, bonding presents some of the most obvious difficulties and is often associated with structural deformation and surface modification. READ MORE

  6. 5. Active dielectrophoretic trapping for deterministic single-cell encapsulation in droplet microfluidics

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Prasanna Surana; [2023]
    Keywords : negative dielectrophoresis; droplet microfluidics; low conductivity medium; cell viability; COMSOL electric field simulation; joule heating; Rhodamine B temperature measurement; microfluidic chip cleaning; negativ dielektrofores; droppmikrofluidik; medium med låg konduktivitet; cellviabilitet; COMSOL elektrisk fältsimulering; jouleuppvärmning; Rhodamine B temperaturmätning; mikrofluidisk chiprengöring;

    Abstract : The research work focuses on optimizing various parameters for controlling cells using negative dielectrophoresis and entrapping them in droplet microfluidics. This is achieved by developing a conductivity medium, combining CytoRecovery, BSA, and EDTA, to maintain a steady count of single cells with good viability over an extended period. READ MORE
