  • Organic-solvent resistant ultrafiltration and nanofiltration membrane modules for separation and purification of nanoparticles

    Creator:
    Kim, Taehyeong
    Abstract:
    The intriguing size- and shape dependent properties of nanoparticles have garnered recent attention in many science and engineering areas. When the particle size is in the nanometer size range, the material exhibits very different properties such as surface plasmon resonance (of gold nanoparticles) and superparamagnetism (of iron oxide nanoparticles). The...

  • Detection techniques for biomolecules using semi-conductor nanocrystals and magnetic beads as labels

    Creator:
    Chatterjee, Esha
    Abstract:
    Continued interest in the development of miniaturized and portable analytical platforms necessitates the exploration of sensitive methods for the detection of trace analytes. Nanomaterials, on account of their unique physical and chemical properties, are not only able to overcome many limitations of traditional detection reagents but also enable the exploration...

  • 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...

  • Micro total analysis system for in-situ and autonomous spectrophotometric monitoring of iron in groundwater

    Creator:
    Koch, Corey R.
    Abstract:
    We have developed a compact micro total analysis system (μTAS) to serve as a platform for in-situ spectrophotometric water quality monitoring. Individual fluidic, optical, and electrical components were designed, developed, and characterized. These components were combined in both an integrated (single lithographic “chip-based” platform) and a modular manner. The microfluidic...

  • Fabrication and application of polymer based microfluidic devices

    Creator:
    Koesdjojo, Myra T.
    Abstract:
    The concept of reducing laboratory operations in scale such that they fit on a microfluidic chip has been met with great enthusiasm. Lab-on-a-chip devices promise to be cost effective to operate due to reduced reagent consumption, have the potential to offer shorter analysis times due to their short path lengths,...

  • 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...
