Miniaturised analysis of complex samples
02 January, 2010
The goal of a ‘lab-on-a-chip’ - an integrated, miniaturised laboratory analysis system - is sample in, answer out. However, researchers wanting to use these microfluidic devices to analyse complex solutions containing particulates or other contaminating materials often find that the first part of the process isn’t so easy.

Magnetic Curie valve
02 December, 2009
Senior Scientist Christian Bahl and Development Engineer Dan Eriksen from Risø DTU have invented a three-way valve that controls the flow through a magnetic material which is attracted by an external magnet when the liquid reaches a certain temperature. The design is promising and the group is now looking for a partner in the industry who would like to join them in this work.

Extracting compounds from various samples using traditional methods involves some give and take.
Producing multiple, steady-state chemical gradients
02 December, 2009
The masterpieces that spring from the talents of Rembrandt, Van Gogh and other artists often begin with the creation of a gradient of colours on a palette. In a similar manner, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created an innovative device called the ‘microfluidic palette’, which can be used to produce multiple, steady-state chemical gradients.
Microfluidics in life science applications
02 December, 2009 | Supplied by: SMC Australia | New Zealand
Selecting the correct valves for most fluid applications requires due consideration to the flow, pressure, temperature and fluid viscosity. In life sciences there are valve requirements that often extend the specification of the valves to consider ‘special’ and often expensive fluids and critical processes.
