  • Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs): Consumer Products, Protocols, and Percutaneous Absorption

    Creator:
    Rewerts, Justin N.
    Abstract:
    Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of anthropogenic compounds gaining notoriety as contaminants of emerging concern. With the frequent detection of PFAS in the environment, drinking water, and consumer products, awareness and concern from the public regarding PFAS is increasing. The two most notorious PFAS are perfluorooctanoate (PFOA)...

  • Laser patterned porous-media microfluidic analytical devices : fabrication methods and applications in bioassays

    Creator:
    Sumantakul, Saichon
    Abstract:
    The concept of reducing laboratory operations into microfluidic devices has been an attractive area of research for several decades. Due to several advantages of porous-media microfluidic devices including low mass, portability, power-free fluid transport, and the ability to store dried reagents in the porous structures, these devices show great promise...

  • Electrochemical Advancement of Solid State Ion Selective Electrodes

    Creator:
    Bahro, Christopher
    Abstract:
    The general theme of this dissertation is the development of new analytical sensors to quantitatively study biological and environmental samples in aqueous and non-aqueous environments. A platinum ultramicroelectrode (UME) and a unique carbon-based pH microprobe were used to design a new SECM-based electrochemical bioassay. The Pt UME was used to...

  • Comprehensive, Low-Cost Wicking Microfluidic Analytical Devices for Clinical Diagnostics and Environmental Analysis

    Creator:
    Bandara, Gayan C.
    Abstract:
    Analytical techniques are utilized in a wide variety of applications. Traditionally, analytical measurements are achieved by trained personnel in a laboratory setting using expensive scientific instruments, which limits their applicability in resource-limited areas and point-of-care applications. Therefore, the concept of enabling these laboratory-based qualitative and quantitative assays in microfluidic device...
