  1. 6. Increased system sensitivity using fluorescent based immunoassays on the Gyrolab® platform

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaci

    Author : Gabriel Lisra; [2023]
    Keywords : Gyrolab; fluorescence; sensitivity; immunoassays;

    Abstract : Immunoassays have become an essential tool in several fields of bioanalytics with tremendous advances in sensitivity and formats seen through the last three decades. Many diseases are today diagnosed solely based on biomarker concentrations evaluated through immunoassays. READ MORE

  3. 7. Let Us Put Our Brains in the Spotlight – Literally!

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Elsa Karjalainen; [2023]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Neurons are the working force in each vertebrate’s nervous system. These small cells have the important task of transferring information in the form of electrical charges called action potentials. Neurons make it possible for us to sense touch, process our environment, and store memory. READ MORE

  4. 8. Buffer modification: A case study with polystyrene beads, DU145-, and MCF7 cell lines

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Olivia Hansson Rengbrandt; [2023]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Separation of cancer cells gives advantages in understanding the disease, guiding treatment decisions, and facilitating drug development. Overall, separation plays an important role in biological research. Acoustophoresis is a technique that utilizes acoustic waves to separate particles and cells suspended in a buffer medium.

  5. 9. 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. 10. 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
