  • Analyzing the Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Surface Reactions using Density Functional Theory

    Creator:
    Sprowl, Lynza H.
    Abstract:
    The interactions of chemical species with a solid surface play a role in many everyday applications such as heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion, and degradation reactions. Understanding the reaction kinetics and thermodynamics via rate constants and equilibrium constants, which require knowledge of the adsorbed species’ entropy, is essential for tuning these surface...

  • Restoring and Updating the Micralyne μTK

    Creator:
    Wong, Derek H.
    Abstract:
    The Micralyne microfluidic toolkit (μTK) was an instrument built by Micralyne in the early 2000’s. It was built for electrophoresis and has a sensitive laser-induced fluorescence detection system. The updates to the system were upgrading the control GUI from running in LabVIEW 5 (Windows XP, 2000) to LabVIEW 2012 (Windows...

  • Magnetic particles for selective extraction of trace analytes in microfluidic devices

    Creator:
    Tennico, Yolanda H.
    Abstract:
    The development of micro total analysis systems (µTAS), also called “lab-on-a-chip”, or microfluidic analysis systems, is presented in this dissertation. Various research areas, covering subjects from magnetic particles synthesis to novel microchip fabrication techniques, are explored to develop a lab-on-a-chip system capable of performing magnetic bead-based bioassays. These devices are...
