1. Characterization of Agarose Microdroplet Properties for Acoustic Trapping of Encapsulated Bacteria and On-chip DNA Extraction
University essay from Uppsala universitet/MikrosystemteknikAbstract : The aim of this project was to investigate if the translation of a DNA extraction protocol to on-chip, for the purpose of reducing the total assay time, would be possible. This was to be enabled by encapsulating bacteria in hydrogel microdroplets that would then be acoustically trapped in a microfluidic system. READ MORE

2. Acoustic trapping of sub-micrometreparticles within microfluidics particles within microfluidics
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrosystemteknik; Uppsala universitet/PolymerkemiAbstract : The aim of this project was to prove that a pre-existing standardmethod for bacterial-DNA extraction can be reduced down to the microscale and in doing so be used in an on-chip setting.The first phase in this project was to identify an appropriate methodand material for droplet generation.

3. Evaluation of OSTE-hybrid materials for acoustophoresis applications
University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystemAbstract : This project aimed at exploring new hybrid materials to be used for acoustophoresis applications. Acoustophoresis can be used to manipulate particles inside a microfluidic channel by creating ultrasound standing waves within the channel [1]. This can be used for cell separation [2] or trapping of particles [3]. READ MORE

4. Improving cell secretome analysis and bacteria evolution by means of acoustophoresis
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : In both, cell secretome analysis and bacteria evolution, controlled handling of particles with a few to sub-micrometers in size and media exchange are inevitable in order to investigate body fluid’s proteins or change the surrounding culture conditions for pivoted evolution. Typically, nanofiltration and ultra-centrifugation are employed which can lead to cell damage, need large sample volumes and have a high sample loss. READ MORE

5. Improvements in reproducibility, throughput and capacity of microfluidic acoustic trapping systems
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : Acoustic trapping is a novel technology that allows for microfluidic sample preparation and pretreatment. The aim of this text is to give the reader a general insight in microfluidics with a focus on acoustic trapping. READ MORE
