This paper presents the measurement of the nonlinear mechanical properties of
polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer based on the mixing ratio of base polymer to curing …

A biosensor is a sensing device that incorporates a biological sensing element and a
transducer to produce electrochemical, optical, mass, or other signals in proportion to …

In this paper, we present a monolithic PDMS micropump that generates peristaltic flow using
a single control channel that actuates a group of different-sized microvalves. An elastomeric …

Manual palpation is commonly used to localize tumors and other features buried deep
inside organs during open surgery. This approach is not feasible in minimally invasive or …

Applications of mathematical heat transfer and fluid flow models in engineering and
medicine Abram S. Dorfman, University of Michigan, USA Engineering and medical …

This study presents an electromagnetically-actuated reciprocating pump for high-flow-rate
microfluidic applications. The pump comprises four major components, namely a lower glass …

We demonstrate a peristaltic micropump that utilizes traveling waves on polymer
membranes to transport liquids. This micropump requires no valves and, more importantly …

Inexpensive, portable lab-on-a-chip devices would revolutionize fields like environmental
monitoring and global health, but current microfluidic chips are tethered to extensive off-chip …

This paper outlines the scaling parameters governing the frequency response of fluidic
networks with embedded deformable features, which are subjected to periodic excitation …

A novel peristaltic pump for portable microfluidic devices has been recently designed and
fabricated. The operation principle is based on the peristaltic motion of eight elastic pumping …
