A Rapid Prototyping and Mass-Production Platform of Microfluidic Devices
Craig Kung P., Kung Y.L., Holcombe D., Grace R.H., Ungelenk G., Piechotka E., Seiferth W., Optotrack, Inc., US
Microfluidic chips, disposable biosensors, and micro-optical devices have been primarily manufactured from silicon- or glass-based substrates for years. This approach involves sophisticated production tools, tedious development processes, and clean-room conditions. Given today’s fierce competition in [...]
Novel Electro Magnetic Micro Pump
The mergence of partial aspects and functional components of micro actuators and micro fluidic technology allows the development of complex micro systems. This enormous potential is shown in this article by the realization of an [...]
Numerical Analysis of Nonlinear Deformation and Breakup of Slender Microjets with Application to Continuous Inkjet Printing
Liquid microjets are inherently unstable and can be modulated in a controlled fashion to create steady streams of picoliter-sized droplets at frequency rates in the hundreds of kilohertz. Such modulation has been achieved using CMOS/MEMS [...]
Drop formation mechanisms in piezo-acoustic inkjet
Drops are generated with a piezo inkjet device. A piezo actuator drives each channel. Drops are measured with stroboscopic illumination or high-speed camera recordings. The phenomena inside the channels are hard to measure. Modeling give [...]
Numerical simulation of the droplet generation mode transition of the co-flowing liquids in micro-channel
A front tracking method based multiphase flow simulation (Unverdi and Tryggvason, 1992) is adopted to investigate the transition mechanism of droplet formation modes of dripiing and jetting. The numerical method solves a single set of [...]
Multi-physics Simulational Analysis of a Novel PCR Micro-Device
While microfluidic devices for PCR amplification have critical applications in biodefense, homeland security, forensics and diagnostics, their efficient simulation and design continue to be a challenge. An experiment-only trial-and-error approach can prove to be prohibitively [...]
