Objects flowing in microfluidic devices can self-organise in ordered structures thanks to the hydrodynamic interactions mediated by either inertial or viscoelastic forces. Such structures have been found to be crucial to enhancing microfluidic applications such as single encapsulation, co-encapsulation, and material synthesis. However, while inerti...

Differential impedance spectroscopy (DIS) can offer distinct advantages over conventional impedance spectroscopy (IS), particularly for the in situ characterization of highly conductive, corrosive fluids. To enhance the understanding of DIS and determine the conditions under which this method is preferable over conventional IS with fixed electrode ...

Background: Adjuvants play a crucial role in improving the immunogenicity of various antigens in vaccines. Squalene-in-water emulsions are clinically established vaccine adjuvants that improve immune responses, particularly during a pandemic. Current manufacturing processes for these emulsion adjuvants include microfluidizers and homogenizers and t...

In this paper, we present a microfluidic flow cytometer for simultaneous imaging and dielectric characterization of individual biological cells within a flow. Utilizing a combination of dielectrophoresis (DEP) and high-speed imaging, this system offers a dual-modality approach to analyze both cell morphology and dielectric properties, enhancing the...

The encapsulation of bacteria in emulsion droplets offers various advantages over other conventional methods of encapsulation, such as improvements in bacterial viability, and may serve as microenvironments for bacterial growth. Nevertheless, changes in temperature may affect bacterial viability and droplet stability. In this study, the encapsulati...

Despite major advances in the field of actuator technology for microsystems, miniaturized microfluidic actuation systems for mobile devices are still not common in the market. We present a micropump concept and an associated mass flow sensor design, which, in combination, have the potential to form the basis for an integrated microfluidic developme...

Since the emergence of microfluidic devices, subtractive manufacturing techniques have dominated their production. Although the conventional manufacturing processes are well established, they come along with some disadvantages that limit the accessibility and hinder the further development of microfluidics. With the rise of additive manufacturing, ...

Sphere formation assay is an accepted cancer stem cell (CSC) enrichment method. CSCs play a crucial role in chemoresistance and cancer recurrence. Therefore, CSC growth is studied in plates and microdevices to develop prediction chemotherapy assays in cancer. As counting spheres cultured in devices is laborious, time-consuming, and operator-depende...

Regular exercise has been shown to have a positive effect on the health outcomes of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, it is still underutilized in developing countries. This study investigated diabetes-related knowledge, attitudes, and practice toward exercise and its benefits among individuals with T2DM. A total of one hun...
