A microfluidic device for the automated electrical readout of low-density glass-slide microarrays
In this work an automated and reusable electrical readout system for low-cost glass slide microarrays is described.
Functional and Consumption Analysis of Integrated Circuits Supplied by Inductive Power Transfer by Powering Modulation and Lock-in Infrared Imaging
The functionality and consumption of an RFID IC supplied by Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) has been non-invasively analyzed by IR thermography.The main aspects addressed in thiswork have been: the suitability study of the proposed modulation strategies, the characterization of the coupling betwee
Nanoscale reduction of graphene oxide thin films and its characterization
In this paper, we report on a method to reduce thin films of graphene oxide (GO) to a spatial resolution better than 100 nm over several tens of micrometers by means of an electrochemical scanning probe based lithography.
Biofunctionalized all-polymer photonic lab on a chip with integrated solid-state light emitter
A photonic lab on a chip (PhLOC), comprising a solid-state light emitter (SSLE) aligned with a biofunctionalized optofluidic multiple internal reflection (MIR) system, is presented.
Thermal Analysis of LED Lamps for Optimal Driver Integration
This work reports on the thermal influence of an LED (Light Emitting Diode) driver on a retrofit LED lamp, also reporting on a procedure for its thermal characterization and multi-scale modeling to optimise its integration.
Dual chronoamperometric detection of enzymatic biomarkers using magnetic beads and a low-cost flow cell
We report on the production of a low cost microfluidic device for the multiplexed electrochemical detection of magneto bioassays. As a proof of concept, the device has been used to detect Myeloperoxidase (MPO), a cardiovascular biomarker.
Silicon-nanowire based attachment of silicon chips for mouse embryo labelling
The adhesion of small silicon chips to cells has many potential applications as direct interconnection of the cells to the external world can be accomplished.
Increasing the eleastic modulus of graphene by controlled defect creation
The presence of lattice defects in graphene might degrade its mechanical properties. We report a study on the elastic modulus and strength with a controlled density of defects.
