Miniaturized electrochemical lab chip sensors could be very valuable in environmental monitoring area due to their many benefits, such as greatly reduced sensing cost, sensing system portability, and ease of use.
In viscoelastic flow, larger particles are enriched downstream of a straight channel in a self-modulated manner by sheathless elasto-inertial focusing mechanism (Yang et al., Lab Chip, 2011, 11, 266-273).
In addition, for on-site determination of cadmium (Cd II)), a bismuth (Bi III)) based polymer lab chip sensor using the square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) sensing principle has been designed, fabricated and successfully characterized.
To this end, we have designed a simple and practical system that couples a microfluidic platform with an array of micro-bioreactors, and has the size of a microscope slide [E. Figallo, C. Cannizzaro, S. Gerecht, J.A. Burdick, R. Langer, N. Elvassore, G. Vunjak-Novakovic, Lab Chip 7 (2007) 710 719].
Evaluation of RNA integrity was performed using the Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 microfluidics-based platform and the RNA 6000 Nano Lab Chips kit (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) in all centres.
RNA was analyzed and quantified using a Bioanalyzer 2100 nano-lab chip from Agilent Technologies (Germany).
The quality of the extracted RNA was determined in a Bioanalyzer 2100 nano-lab chip (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA).
The RNA probe size was accurately checked on RNA6000 lab-chip (Agilent Technologies).
Convergence of optical technologies and microfluidic systems is promising for sensor applications by exploiting fluorescence detection, absorption, transmission, and polarization measurements on lab-chip (LOC) systems.
