Highlight: Electrokinetic Lab-on-a-BioChip for Multi-Ligand/Multi-Analyte Biosensing

We present a simple electrokinetic lab-on-a-biochip (EKLB) with four microchannels integrated with a surface plasmon resonance imaging (iSPR) label-free biosensor that is operated using a single electrical voltage for the simultaneous transport of reagents in all microchannels without conventional fluidic plumbing ... read more

Single cells as experimentation units in lab-on-a-chip devices

‘Lab-on-a-chip’ technology (LOC) has now reached a mature state and is employed commonly in research in the life sciences. LOC devices make novel experimentation possible while providing a sophisticated environment for cellular investigation. As a next step, ... read more

Highlight: Electrokinetic Sample Focusing and Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging System for Measuring Biomolecular Interactions

We present an electrokinetic label-free biomolecular screening chip (Glass/PDMS) to screen up to 10 samples simultaneously using surface plasmon resonance imaging (iSPR). This approach reduces the duration of an experiment when compared to conventional experimental methods. This new device ... read more

Lorentz-workshop

The workshop aims to generate novel insights and discover new possibilities at the interface of two disciplines roughly annotated as Lab-on-a-Chip technology and cell biology. The first days common concepts have to be introduced starting from a common physical phenomenon: fluid flow in confined space. In the engineering world fluid flow is optimized to satisfy design and application constraints, ... read more
