Abstract:: Gene synthesis is an important tool in molecular biology. However, the current bench-top method of gene synthesis is a costly, time-intensive and reagent-consuming process. Lab-on-chip technology has many benefits over current bench top methods. Microchips consume smaller reagent volumes, are reusable and less expensive to make. This thesis explores the...

Abstract:: A simple Janus-type membrane-based wicking microfluidic device fabricated on a polycaprolactone-filled glass microfiber membrane enables separation and collection of blood plasma or serum from whole blood. This device bridges the wicking and cut-capillary-based solution transport mechanisms in a single membrane. The initial portion of the device is fabricated using selective...

Abstract:: The development of simple, rapid, and sensitive methods for thiophenol detection is of great importance in various fields, including environmental monitoring and food quality. Here, we present a novel approach for the colorimetric detection of thiophenols using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the sensing platform. AuNPs aggregate in the presence of...

Abstract:: The cross over from batch nanoparticle synthesis to continuous synthesis processes is crucial to the commercialization of these materials. This project reports comparative studies of batch and continuous synthese of copper nanoparticles by the polyol method. Continuous synthesis of copper nanoparticles was done utilizing a stainless steel micro-mixer that yielded...

Abstract:: High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry coupled with filtration, centrifugation, and other common sample preparation techniques offers a rapid and robust method for separating and quantifying propofol, a commonly used anesthetic, from human blood and its synthetic analogs. Method development is important for not only optimizing separation and quantification for a...

Creator:: Fuchs, Brian K.
Abstract:: A system to reversibly extract Pb²⁺ ions from aqueous solutions using spiropyran functionalized nanofibers was proposed. Spiropyrans are photochromic compounds which undergo a conformational change that alters their physical properties and makes Pb²⁺ binding possible upon irradiation with UV light (365 nm). Irradiation with green light (525 nm) reverses this...

Abstract:: A system of Photoactuated Droplet Microfluidics (PDM), in which a droplet of fluid is moved by way of the manipulation of the wettability of a spiropyran functionalized surface via irradiation with ultraviolet and visible light, was proposed. The photochromic behaviors of several species of spiropyran were studied and a procedure...
