Compact Sampling Device Based on Wax Microfluidics

This work reports on the design, fabrication and performance of a low-cost, self-contained sampling device based on a wax microfluidics technology. This sampler delivers leak- and contamination-free performance that ensures the integrity of the collected samples. Thanks to its small dimensions and low power requirements, this device is well suited for collecting samples on-board of small aerial or aquatic drones.
