The mechanics of a fascicle insertion into the skin by a mosquito of the type aedes aegypti
has been studied experimentally using high-speed video (HSV) imaging, and analytically …

This paper presents a microfluidic device that can separate and extract blood plasma from
several microliters of blood without external mechanical driving sources such as a …

This review summarizes recent achievements and progress in the development of various
functional 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer biointerfaces for lab-on …

Mosquitoes are commonly viewed as pests and deadly predators by humans. Despite this
perception, investigations of their survival-based behaviors, select anatomical features, and …

We focus on research to develop a compact human blood sampling device used for the Self
Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG). The SMBG comprises:(1) an indentation system using …

The direct measurement of lithium in whole blood is described. Using microchip capillary
