A 256 pixel magnetoresistive biosensor microarray in 0.18μm CMOS

Magnetic nanotechnologies have shown significant potential in several areas of nanomedicine such as imaging, therapeutics, and early disease detection. Giant magnetoresistive spin-valve (GMR SV) sensors coupled with magnetic nanotags (MNTs) possess great promise as ultra-sensitive biosensors for diagnostics. We report an integrated sensor...

Optimization of a Multi Microchamber Biochip for Cell Co-culture

The goal of this project is to model, fabricate and characterize a multi microchamber biochip, which allows for crosstalk between two types of living cells. This biochip uses laminar flow to separate two microchambers for cell co-culture. A study of fluid dynamics through finite element analysis was implemented to optimize two methods for...

Cluster optical coding – from biochips to counterfeit security

Spatially tuned resonant nano-clusters allow high local field enhancement when excited by electromagnetic radiation. A number of phenomena has been described and subsequently applied for the construction of novel nano- and bionano-devices. Easy to manufacture, cost efficient and high throughput transducers using metal cluster resonance...
