Function fabrication in a microfluidic device manufactured with a custom 3D printer. The functions may include, for example, transporting or routing fluid, fluid mixing through flow and/or diffusion, blocking fluid (valve), pumping fluid, providing chemical reaction regions, providing analyte capture regions, and providing analyte separation regions. The fluid may be a liquid or a gas.

Microfluidic microchips by 3D printing

A method and microfluidic device with a porous polymer monolith in a channel of the device with capture affinity element (such as an oligonucleotide complementary to a DNA target from the KPC antibiotic resistance gene) on the monolith surface.

Simple single-step porous polymer monolith for DNA extraction

Custom 3d printer and resin for microfluidic flow channels and 3D printed high density, reversible, chip-to-chip microfluidic interconnects.

3D printer, resin, and interconnect

A system for detecting concentration of a target in a solution where sample fluid is passed into a microchannel with wall coated with the receptor that reacts and crosslinks with the target to constrict the channel and slow or stop sample flow through the microchannel. Concentration of the target is determined by measuring length of the sample filled channel.

Flow-valve diagnostic microfluidic system

Nanostructures on substrates include one or more nanofeatures having unscathed walls and width dimensions of forty-five nm or less. The nanofeatures may include at least one of a nanotrench, nanocapillary, nano-chemical pattern, and nanowire. The nanostructures may include a nano object with a pattern of nano elements. A nano system may include at least one nano system device, which may include at least one nanofeature. A method of forming nanofeatures on substrates includes placing a nano-templating element on the substrate. A masking material is deposited at an acute angle to form shadow gaps on shadowed regions of the substrate. The nano-templating element, the angle, and other factors may be selected to form shadow gaps having width dimensions less than 10 nm. The substrate may be chemically modified in the areas corresponding to the shadow gaps to create nanofeatures with unscathed walls having width dimensions of less than 10 nm.

Apparatus, system, and method for DNA shadow nanolithography

A microchip with capillaries and method for making same is described. A sacrificial material fills microchannels formed in a polymeric substrate, the filled microchannels are covered by a top cover to form filed capillaries, and the sacrificial material is removed to form the microcapillaries. The sacrificial material fills the microchannels as a liquid whereupon it becomes solid in the microchannels, and is liquefied after the top cover is applied and affixed to remove the sacrificial material. The top cover may be solvent sealed on the substrate and of the same or different material as the substrate. The top cover may also be an in situ applied semipermeable membrane.
