  1. 16. Measuring Acoustic Mobility of Particles by Particle Tracking Velocimetry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Alexander Edthofer; [2022]
    Keywords : acoustophoresis; microfluidics; polystyrene; cells; particle tracking velocimetry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Acoustophoresis is a method to manipulate and move cells or particles suspended in a medium using acoustic waves. The speed of the acoustophoretic motion depends on the cells' acoustic mobility, i.e. their size, density and compressibility relative to the medium. READ MORE

  3. 17. Trade-offs in CRISPR Immunity against Mobile Genetic Elements

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekylär systembiologi

    Author : Johanna Cederblad; [2022]
    Keywords : CRISPR; microfluidics; fluorescent microscopy; RP4 conjugative plasmid;

    Abstract : The prokaryotic adaptive immune system CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is a defense mechanism that helps to protect the prokaryotic cell from invading mobile genetic elements. This project was performed at Uppsala University and served to answer whether the expression of Cascade, which is part of the CRISPR defense system, will have a negative effect on the cell that expresses it and to also determine whether the CRISPR defense system is effective enough to stop the spread of a conjugative plasmid.

  4. 18. Microbial ecosystem analysis of biochar-enriched soil in Kenya using microfluidic soil models

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Erik Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Soil microbial ecosystem analysis; Microbe abundance; Microbe foraging; Biochar; Agriculture; Microfluidics; In-situ visualization; Kenya; SoilChip; Soil model; Minor Field Study; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Healthy soil is rich in diverse microbial life, and a healthy microbial ecosystem is crucial for any well-functioning agriculture. Soil microbes are essential for organic decomposition and nutrient recycling in the soil, which make nutrients available for agricultural crops. READ MORE

  5. 19. Carbon dioxide-based pump system for portable HPLC equipment

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrosystemteknik

    Author : Sofia Göransson; [2022]
    Keywords : Microsystem Technology; Flow Chemistry; Chemical Analyses; High-Performance Liquid Chromatography; HPLC; Pump System; Miniaturise; Portable; Pressurised Carbon Dioxide; PCO; High-Pressure;

    Abstract : To make chemical analysis available both practically and economically, one approach is to miniaturise the equipment needed for the analysis. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is an example of a flow chemistry analysis system where active work is performed to achieve miniaturised systems. READ MORE

  6. 20. 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
