Binary centrifugal microfluidics enabling novel, digital addressable functions for valving and routing

Abstract: Centrifugal microfluidics or lab-on-a-disc (LOAD) is a promising branch of lab-on-a-chip or microfluidics. Besides effective fluid transportation and inherently available density-based sample separation in centrifugal microfluidics, uniform actuation of flow on the disc makes the platform compact and scalable. However, the natural radially outward centrifugal force in a LOAD system limits its capacity to perform complex fluid manipulation steps. In order to increase the fluid manipulation freedom and integrati… Show more

“…The researchers also used this method for two specific applications of DNA purification and Bradford assay. 122 The detailed computational analyses explained in the previous sections are not necessarily straightforward. Although they can provide in-depth information about the phenomena in all the different unit operations, they need highly trained users with a background in programming and enough run time.…”

“…The use of external pumps such as syringe and peristaltic pumps are common in the field of microfluidics since they are easy to use. Generally, external pumps are expensive and each reagent in the assay requires a separate pump, which makes the experimental setup even more expensive [28]. These pumps are large and need a lot of external complex interconnects [28,29], which does not make them the best candidates for POC applications.…”

“…Generally, external pumps are expensive and each reagent in the assay requires a separate pump, which makes the experimental setup even more expensive [28]. These pumps are large and need a lot of external complex interconnects [28,29], which does not make them the best candidates for POC applications. In addition, since they are external pumps, they need long tubing systems for connecting to inlets and outlets, which requires high upstream pressures and wastes a lot of precious sample material as tubing dead volumes [30,31].…”
