Infectious diseases are a major global health issue. Diagnosis is a critical first step in
effectively managing their spread. Paper-based microfluidic diagnostics first emerged in …

The ability to manipulate and sort droplets is a fundamental issue in droplet-based
microfluidics. Various lab-on-a-chip applications can only be realized if droplets are …

The microcirculation is an extensive network of microvessels that distributes blood flow
throughout living tissues. Reynolds numbers are much less than 1, and the equations of …

Plasma is a rich mine of various biomarkers including proteins, metabolites and circulating
nucleic acids. The diagnostic and therapeutic potential of these analytes has been quite …

Blood plasma separation is vital in the field of diagnostics and health care. Due to the
inherent advantages obtained in the transition to microscale, the recent trend in these fields …

Fast and reliable diagnoses are invaluable in clinical care. Samples (eg, blood, urine, and
saliva) are collected and analyzed for various biomarkers to quickly and sensitively assess …

Suspensions are considered from the perspective of development of their bulk fluid
mechanics. Suspension mechanics has had a fluid mechanical basis since its inception, as …

Partitioning of red blood cells (RBCs) at vascular bifurcations has been studied over many
decades using in vivo, in vitro, and theoretical models. These studies have shown that RBCs …

Droplet microfluidics provides a high-throughput platform for screening subjects and
conditions involved in biology. Droplets with encapsulated beads and cells have been …

Partitioning of red blood cells (RBCs) at the level of bifurcations in the microcirculatory
system affects many physiological functions yet it remains poorly understood. We address …
