  1. 11. Thermal Acoustic Flow inside an Ultrasound Resonator

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Enrico Corato; [2020]
    Keywords : Microfluidics; Ultrasound; Acoustofluidics; Thermal gradient; Thermoacoustic; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis aims at investigating the interaction between thermal gradients and acoustic fields in microfluidic devices. In the research branch of Acoustofluidics, which bridges together acoustics and fluid dynamics, inhomogeneity in the medium has gained great interest due to the novel physics behind and the potential in manipulating submicrometer particles.

  3. 12. Design, evaluation and use of a microfluidic device for automated production of mucin microparticles for cell encapsulation for diabetes therapy

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

    Author : Bharathesh Badadamath; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Droplet microfluidics has prevalent growth in a wide range of applications in the life science field. This project is one such example where we used a droplet microfluidics tool for treating diabetes mellitus type 1. Mucin hydrogels (Muc-gels) modulate the immune response driving biomaterialinduced fibrosis.[1]. READ MORE

  4. 13. Optical Coherence Tomography measurements of biofibril dispersions in flow-focusing

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Cecilia Rydefalk; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Microfluidic spinning techniques have been used as a successful assembly process for biofibrils dispersed in a fluid. The dispersion flows through a microchannel and is focused by a sheath flow. In this way the topology and velocity of the dispersion in the core can be manipulated. READ MORE

  5. 14. Microfluidic blood fractionation and lysis towards analysis of cytokine levels in red blood cells

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

    Author : Laura Barrett; [2019]
    Keywords : Microfluidics; Capillary action; Blood; Fractionation; Cytokine; Interleukin 3;

    Abstract : In the process of blood analysis, for biomarker detection, blood plasma or serumis analyzed, while Red blood cells (RBCs) are usually considered waste. A recentstudy has found that cytokine concentrations in RBC lysate are on average 12-fold higher than in plasma. READ MORE

  6. 15. Superhydrophobic surfaces for microfluidic applications

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrosystemteknik

    Author : Anton Rundberg; [2018]
    Keywords : resistance; reduction; transparent; reusable; resealable;

    Abstract : The integration and use of superhydrophobic surfaces to microfluidic systems were investigated in this work. Superhydrophobic surfaces are believed to have the ability to reduce the hydrodynamic resistance of a microchannel, reduce the risk of clogging due to reduced liquid contact with the microchannel walls and reduce the losses in a microfluidic system.
