Abstract

Prof. Terence Kuzma will discuss how modern manufacturing processes are used to create lab on a chip devices. He will discuss the unique physics of fluids on the microscale, and the solutions to meet these challenges. A hands on experience from a teaching cleanroom on the fabrication of the microfluidic channels will be discussed while sharing the detailed recipes. Simulation of a microfluidic channel to separate red blood cells will also be covered as an immediate application.
