Chemists have created a device -- using little more than paper and sticky tape -- that can precisely separate liquids for further medical or environmental analysis. The scientists write in a ...
That's where a new microfluidic chip comes in, as it selects only the most vigorous, "highly-motivated" sperm from the herd. Developed by a team at Florida Atlantic University, the ...
The use of space environment to carry out life science research is of great significance to issues affecting the occurrence and development of life on earth by space flight and space environment; ...
Microfluidics is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from physics, chemistry, and engineering to create devices that can process and analyze minuscule volumes of liquids. Often, ...
To create a cervix-on-a-chip, the researchers added cells that line the cervical canal to one channel of a microfluidic device. To an adjacent channel, they introduced cervical fibroblasts that form ...
Active microvalves and passive microvalves in microfluidic chips. (A) Typical structure of active microvalve: sliding arm. PDMS structures contain a guiding channel and a fluidic channel and were ...
