• Due to the present limitations on the capacity of micromachined pumps,
it is critical to optimize the geometry and surface characteristics of the
observation channel.
• With proper geometrical arrangement, required flowrate and
hydrodynamic focusing are expected to be achievable using
micromachined pumps.
• Finite element models of sheath flow will be validated for predictive
modeling at the “silicon-scale”.
The overarching goal of this research is to develop a miniaturized, on-line, and low-cost technology to rapidly detect
and quantify bacteria and fungus populations in environmental applications. This poster outlines the first of two phases
of research that will achieve a novel integration of microfluidics and micro-integrated optics applicable to microbial detection
and quantification in a small, low-power silicon-based package. A rapid, stand-alone microbial detector and quantification
device will be produced that is suitable for automated or hand-held operation and direct integration to space-constrained
systems such as machine tools and fluid distribution networks. This device is based on the flow cytometry concept, and is
called the Micro-Integrated Flow Cytometer (MIFC).
USE AS MANY PICTURES AS POSSIBLE,
BUT MAKE SURE THEY MAKE SENSE!
THEY SHOULDN’T JUST FILL SPACE
E.G., EXPLAIN A CONCEPT WITH A PICTURE LIKE THIS:
Integrate Excitation, and
Detection at
“Chip Level”
“Chip Level”
Integrate Pumps,
Electronics, and Channels
at “Device Level”
