  1. 6. Optical Detector for Microfluidics

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för informationsteknologi

    Author : Carlos Gómez Jiménez; Jaime Gómez Jiménez; [2022]
    Keywords : Serial crystallography; Microfluidic device; Optical detector; Particle counting;

    Abstract : This project arose from the need to filter the sampled data and eliminate non-useful information in Serial Crystallography in Microfluidic Device (MFD)by using a portable optical detector placed around the channel. By testing sixteen different configurations, always using an LED as a source and a photodiode as a light sensor, changes in the channel due to the passage of air bubbles were detected. READ MORE

  3. 7. Sweat Lactate Sensor Integrated with Microfluidicand Iontophoresis System for Analysing Sweat without Physical Activity

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Ingi Kristinsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Lactate; sweat; iontophoresis; microfluidic system; Laktat; svett; iontophoresis; mikrofluidiskt system;

    Abstract : Background: Understanding lactate levels can provide important information aboutour body’s condition. For athletes, this can improve their training and prevent earlyfatigue. In healthcare, monitoring lactate can provide valuable information and potentially prevent life-threatening episodes. READ MORE

  4. 8. 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

  5. 9. Cellulose nanofibril-based Layer-by-Layer system for immuno-capture of circulating tumor cells in microfluidic devices

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Ekeram Lahchaichi; [2021]
    Keywords : Layer-by-layer; Thermodynamic equilibrium; Microfluidics; Cellulose nanofibrils; Cell capture; Point-of-care diagnostics; Layer-by-layer teknik; Termodynamisk jämvikt; Mikrofluidik; Cellulosa nanofibriller; Cellisolering; Point-of-care diagnostik;

    Abstract : År 2020 listade Världshälsoorganisationen (WHO) cancer som den globalt ledande dödsorsaken med över 10 miljoner dödsfall årligen. Av dessa 10 miljoner fall förekommer nästan 70% i låg- till medelinkomstländer - en siffra som på grund av den låga prioriteringen av cancerbehandling- och diagnostik förväntas öka till 85% redan år 2030.

  6. 10. Development of innovative multi-physics solutions to optimize biological measure performance

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

    Author : Mathilde Aubret; [2020]
    Keywords : Camera variability; statistics; image processing; LFIA; microfluidic; modelling;

    Abstract : Paper strips are becoming widely used for blood testing and particularly with embedded immunoassays. Among the so called "Point of Care" devices, the association of LFIA tests with a reading technology able to capture the strip and analyze its composition to output the biological result is advantageous in many ways.
