Micro-Optics and Microfluidics
Researchers have successfully combined a silicone rubber stick-on sheet containing dozens of miniature, powerful lenses with lab-on-a-chip devices - a combination of high-performance micro-optics and microfluidics that could bring researchers one step closer to putting the capacity of a large laboratory into a micro-sized package. The array, which integrates directly into a massively parallel microfluidic device, can analyze nearly 200,000 droplets per second; is scalable and reusable; and can be readily customized. The researchers are optimistic that with further research and development, the device could enhance a range of microfluidic and microfluidic-based lab-on-chip devices and speed the advance of using them for applications such as in-the-field biological assays.
