Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when the head experiences a violent hit and can cause disruption in regular brain activity1. Similar to many other diseases, early diagnosis of TBI can prevent progression towards irreversible damages. This is further highlighted in patients with unclear or minor...
As microfluidic devices get more complicated, the need for integration with automatic control and readout devices increases. This is further emphasized in point-of-care applications where, ideally, the device operates with minimal reagent handling and supervision and does not require highly trained personnel. One of the...
Respiratory morbidity is a significant issue with prematurely born neonates. The premature neonates are often in need of some sort of support since their lungs are not yet fully mature. Although the current treatments such as mechanical ventilation considerably decrease the mortality rate, they can...
A crucial task for sample preparation is nucleic acid amplification which is a process at which the nucleic acid content of a sample with a particular sequence is amplified extensively to be readable using read-out techniques such as fluorescent imaging. Nucleic acid amplification tests hold paramount...
COVID-19 is now announced pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) causing many countries to declare emergency state and shutdown public places. Diagnostic tools can play a key role in decreasing the spreading rate and controlling the virus. Microfluidics has the potential to offer rapid...
