Latest Patents
Rahul Roy holds a patent for a microfluidic device with integrated micro-structured electrodes. The patent describes a microfluidic device that comprises a set of micro-structured electrodes made from a fusible alloy, such as Field's Metal. These electrodes are patterned on a layer of PDMS, and the molten fusible alloy is poured over this patterned layer. A suction force is applied to ensure the uniform flow of the molten metal. The design includes a second layer with a flow channel orthogonal to the micro-structured electrodes, enhancing the device's sensitivity to red blood cell detection at high frequencies, which are also bio-compatible (above 2 MHz). The invention allows for multiple layers of micro-structured electrodes to be sandwiched between layers of flow channels, resulting in a three-dimensional microfluidic device.
