  2. Microfluidics Terminology Keywords

  3. Microfluidics Volumes 1mm3

  4. Scaling Effects

  5. Scale and its effects

  6. Illustrating the scaling effects

  7. Microfluidic devices • Microvalves • Micropumps • Microfluidic dispensers • Mixers • Microfluidic amplifiers • Microchannels and Networks • Microneedles • Lab-on-chip

  8. Reaction well Valves Sample inlet pump Sample Product transport Reagents Detection Lab-on-a-chipMicro Total Analysis System

  9. Lab-on-a-Chip Micro Total Analysis System Lab-on-a-chip concept enables chemical reagent manipulation (dispensing, mixing, incubation, reaction, analysis) on a very small surface area (1cmx1cm) using extremely small reagent quantities Advantages: • Low reagent volume/low analysis cost • Fast results (short reagent diffusion time) • High precision • Portability

  10. Lab-on-a-chip technology Caliper Technologies

  11. Reservoir/sensor SC Epidermis Dermis Close loop Drug delivery Drug Delivery Diagnostics Cosmetics Vaccines/diagnostics Systemic/diagnostics מפותח ומיוצר ע"י חב' nanopass הישראלית (דר' ש. ישורון מייסד)

  12. Fluid Actuation- a lot of physics is involved

  13. Obvious Benefits

  14. More Benefits

  15. Major Applications SPACE INDUSTRY

  16. LocalIsraeli Industry just starting to be involved • Products cost should meet market expectation, namelybe sufficiently low Microfluidics Risks

  17. Microfluidics Technology • Materials: • Silicon, glass or plastics • Fabrication Methods: • Depend on materials • Packaging: • Unique issues related to liquids • Simulations: • CFD- computational Fluidic Dynamics

  18. MEFS Significance Microfluidic MEMS technology has potential of revolutionizing biochemical/medical sciences in a similar way as microprocessor has revolutionized computer science Understanding and modeling of micro flow phenomena is still largely unexplored subject There are interesting and still emerging new microfluidic applications meeting vast market needs

  19. Leading companies • Hewlett-Packard (ink jets) • Agilent Technologies (BioChips) • Motorola (DNA Chips) • Caliper Technologies (Lab-on-chip) • ….MANY MORE
