The primary objectives of the course are as follows:
1. Why a CD as a diagnostic platform?
2. Fluidics compared. Here we compare all the different alternatives to pumping fluids in a microfluidic platform.
4. Fluidics image acquisition. How do we visualize flow in a rotating platform?
5. CD fluidics theory background.
6. Electrical forces on the CD
- Overview
- Electrochemical Detection on the CD
- Wi-FI CD
- C-MEMS Electrodes
-Redox Amplification on the CD
7. How to fabricate microfluidic CDs?
8. Applications
Sample preparation
DNA Amplification
Detection
Pneumatic propulsion: bringing fluids back to the center
