Pulse-free microfluidic system.
Description: Pulse-free miniaturized platform designed to manipulate and control small volumes of fluids at the microscale, ranging from millilitres to microliters. The compact size, reduced sample consumption, faster reaction times, and potential for automation make microfluidic devices advantageous for a wide range of scientific and biomedical purposes. The device offers precise handling of fluids within microchannels or microstructures, enabling various applications such as chemical analysis, biological assays, drug delivery, and point-of-care diagnostics.
Technical specifications:
- Fast settling time (down to 40 ms).
- High stability and pulseless flow.
- Possibility to handle from picoliters fluid volumes of several liters.
- Enable both flow and pressure control when used with a flow meter.
Applications:
- Nanoparticle Synthesis: Enable the production of nanoparticles such as lipid nanoparticles, vesicles, quantum dots, gold nanoparticles, and magnetic nanoparticles with controlled properties.
- Drug Delivery Systems: Utilized to develop drug delivery systems based on nanoparticles, allowing for controlled release and targeted delivery of therapeutics to specific tissues or cells.
- Cell Culture and Analysis: Provide microscale environments for culturing cells, allowing researchers to mimic physiological conditions and study cell behavior, proliferation, and differentiation.
- Organ-on-a-Chip: Microfluidic platforms replicate the structure and function of human organs, facilitating the study of organ-level physiology, disease modelling, and drug screening in a more physiologically relevant context.
