We present a technique to locally and rapidly heat water drops in microfluidic devices with
microwave dielectric heating. Water absorbs microwave power more efficiently than …

The ability to selectively and precisely control the temperature of fluid volumes ranging from
a few microliters to sub-nanoliters in microfluidic networks is vital for a wide range of …

We have developed an integrated microfluidic-microelectronic measurement platform in
order to accurately measure the dielectric properties of sub-muL volumes of liquids at …

We describe on-chip microwave generation of spatial temperature gradients in a polymeric
microfluidic device that includes an integrated microstrip transmission line. The transmission …

This paper proposes a miniature microwave-microfluidic chip based on continuous
microfluidics and a miniature interdigital capacitor (IDC). The novel chip consists of three …

This paper reports on a microwave heater at 20 GHz for digital microfluidics. It allows rapid
heating of nanoliter fluid samples and simultaneous temperature monitoring by correlating …

We demonstrate electrically addressable localized heating in fluid at the dielectric surface of
silicon-on-insulator field-effect transistors via radio-frequency Joule heating of mobile ions in …

We present a custom-made temperature control system for performing sensitive biochemical
reactions within a microfluidic platform. The thermoelectric module (TEM)-based system is …

Simple sets of equations have been derived to describe the absorption of microwave power
in three-region, lossy transmission lines in terms of S-parameter reflection and transmission …

In this manuscript, we present a summary and analysis of research papers about microwave
heating for microfluidics starting from its beginnings to the most recent publications. We …
