De titel is: Lab-on-a-chip devices with patterned hydrogels. Engineered microarrays for biomolecule fractionation, organ-on-a-chip and desalination

Abstract 

Hydrogels are considered to be in the class of smart materials that find application in diagnostic, therapeutic, and fundamental science tools for miniaturized total analysis systems. In this thesis, the focus is on three major applications of patterned hydrogels, which are explored as an alternative strategy to expensive and low throughput systems for preparative DNA fractionation, in vitro compartmentalization of human gut epithelium, and desalination by microelectrodialysis.
