We present a detailed experimental study of a hydrodynamic filtration microchip and show how chip performance can be tuned and clogging avoided by adjusting the flow rates. We demonstrate concentration and separation of microspheres at throughputs as high as 29  ml/min and with 96% pureness. Results...

Two key issues in the manufacturing of microfluidic devices are to obtain low surface roughness, i.e. in the range of nanometers (to facilitate optical detection and controlled flow through microfluidic networks), and to achieve robust bonding. Here we report that a chemical polishing step, used for...

I det nystartete prosjektet EXIT (EXosomes Isolation Tool) skal SINTEF, som en del av en flerfaglig gruppe, utvikle et miniatyrisert analyseverktøy for å undersøke eksosomer i prøver fra pasienter med Alzheimers sykdom. Eksosomer «bærer» ulike molekyler som proteiner, microRNA og metabolitter, og ...

Allergies to antibiotics are the commonest form of medication allergies and, in the worst cases, can result in anaphylaxis and death. SINTEF is participating in the development of a new allergy test that will make it easier to provide patients with safe and correct treatments....
