Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that is on a rising tide. Diabetic patients must regularly monitor their blood glucose levels. One method for designing such a device is using electrochemical principles, specifically amperometry to determine glucose concentration. It is essential to ... Read More
Recent events underscore the importance of rapid diagnostic tests for detecting viruses such as the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus or for screening cancer biomarkers. Many fluidic-based diagnostics applications require careful control of chemical and biological species concentrations. In this ... Read More
Introduction: The current gold standard for measuring intra-cardiac blood flow is cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and Color-Doppler ultrasound [ref1]. The presented simulation pipeline extracts heart wall motion from medical imaging and simulates the intra-cardiac blood flow as an ... Read More
Within 40 years, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) catheters evolved into the golden standard for treating coronary stenoses. However, navigating through tortuous vessel pathways and cracking highly calcified lesions is challenging. To minimize the risk of ... Read More
Swellable microneedles (SMN) have gained a lot of attention to the transport of drugs in the skin. Microneedle swells by absorbing interstitial fluid, causing the loaded drug to transport into the skin without polymer dissolution which reduces the chance of infection and skin irritation. ...

ElectroChemiLuminescence (ECL) is a phenomenon of light emission resulting from an initial electrochemical reaction [1]. Today, ECL is used for detecting biomolecules (DNA, RNA, biomarkers). Unlike other optical detection methods used in biosensors (e.g. fluorescence), ECL is a highly ... Read More
Atherosclerosis prevalence keeps increasing worldwide because of the sedentary lifestyle and aging of the population. It is a pathology which is characterized by the build-up of plaque on the artery walls. While it has no incidence at the beginning, the blood flow can be severely altered ... Read More
Concentration polarization (CP) is a common problem in membrane filtration. It is caused by the convective transport of large molecules towards the membrane surface, however while the solvent passes the membrane as permeate, the molecules are retained and accumulate at the membrane ... Read More
