WEEKLY EPFL BIOE TALKS SERIES

Abstract:
In this seminar, I will give an overview of the capillary-driven microfluidic systems and their portable electronic peripherals developed at IBM Research-Zurich. I will share results on the electro-actuated valves implemented in microfluidics (1), a new microfluidic concept developed for the integration of reagents (2), and a liquid painting comprising 10’000 localized sites for biochemical reactions (3). Finally, I will introduce an innovative, yet affordable, 3D microscopy system developed by Microqubic AG (Switzerland) for imaging microfluidic and semiconductor devices (4) and give a live demo.
