3D printing technology that can form fine three-dimensional structures by ejecting plastic material through inkjet nozzles has drawn considerable attention recent years. Our group has focused on this technology to check the fabrication potential...
We present a new concept of paper-based devices and inkjet printer-like analyzer for clinical diagnostics. A water-resisting paper coated with polyolefin resin was selected for the chip’s material, and the microchannels were successfully fabricated...
We proposed a new method for counting the number of active bacteria by using microdroplet as an incubator (Fig. 1a). During the cultivation, the change of bacterium’s behavior or the change of chemical and physical...
Flow cytometers have been widely used to characterize biological cells, DNA, and proteins. Recently, complex pre- and post- treatment procedures such as separation, staining and sorting of sample cells are combined with one analyzer. In order to...
The concept of evaporative concentration was proven by a single-line chip. Here we discuss the follow-up design, fabrication procedure and functional tests of a multiline evaporative sample concentrator integrated with a 3D printed polymer...
Our goal is to develop sensitive detection system to monitor very small concentrations of biological contaminants in drinking water. In order to enhance the detection limit of such system, concentration of the sample prior...
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for all aquatic plants and animals for the formation of amino acids. However, its excessive concentration in water leads to eutrophication that results in degradation of quality of water....
As the availability of fresh water is increasingly becoming the limiting factor for development, the monitoring and assessing water quality is of vital interest for every society. Water purification is key element to maintain...
