Hydrodynamic-flow-enhanced rapid mixer for isothermal DNA hybridization kinetics analysis on digital microfluidics platform

Influence of channel height on mixing efficiency and synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles using droplet-based microfluidics

“…17 Just as a droplet formation, enhancement of a droplet internal mixing can be achieved passively 18 or actively 6 using external energy, e.g. droplet-boundary oscillation under AC actuation, 19 thermocapillary mixing with micro-wave heater, 20 droplet homogenization via electrostatic forces 21 or magnetic actuation. 22 Additional geometrical constraints can attain passive homogenization of a droplet content.…”

A Lotus shaped acoustofluidic mixer: High throughput homogenisation of liquids in 2 ms using hydrodynamically coupled resonators

“…Using Lotus shaped acoustofluidic device, PLGA nanoparticles as small as 52 nm were assembled. The potential use of this device is not limited to mixing only but also for various applications such as sonoporation [30] , cell lysis [31] and kinetics measurements [10] , [32] .…”

One-shot high-resolution melting curve analysis for KRAS point-mutation discrimination on a digital microfluidics platform

“…The fabrication steps of the actuation plate are similar to our previous work. 20,30 Briefly, the transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes of 2.5 × 2.5 mm 2 with 60 μm clearance from each other ensure droplet transportation and passive dispensing. The 300 μm thick glass serves as the spacer between the top and bottom plates.…”
