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...

Functionalization of carbon nanotubes for effective biosensing and potential biomedical applications

Creator:: Adenuga, Adeniyi A.
Abstract:: Since their discovery in the 1990s, the great potential of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has made them a focus of many research endeavors, including their application as components of biosensors. The inherent chemical "inertness" of CNTs makes their application to biosensing a challenge. It is necessary to "decorate" their surfaces to...
