The team had designed the constrictions within
the microchannels in parallel to achieve high throughput and in series to obtain accuracy.
Standard photolithography creates
microchannels in which the liquid containing the cells flow.
Not exact matches
The plasma containing magnetic beads then flows through the
microchannels on the diagnostic chip
in which the beads can be readily collected using a magnet to extract circulating exosomes from the plasma.»
Finally, a fluidic
microchannel enables the delivery of pharmacological substances — neurotransmitters
in this case — that will reanimate the nerve cells beneath the injured tissue.
Their test is
in a device that includes tiny
microchannels for a sample to move through.
The same plastic as
in garbage bags makes an efficient heat exchanger
in power plants by creating
microchannels.
Can we reach these higher speeds by not manipulating the fluids
in microchannels, but
in the air instead?
The device is housed
in a silicon and glass chip about 3centimeters long with four small chambers connected by
microchannels.
In the novel cooling system, each microgap, ranging from 80 to 1000 microns, is structured over surfaces to facilitate easy and rapid dissipation of heat which is further enhanced by
microchannels.
A
microchannel applicator used
in the system will allow the creation of smaller, more complex electronics features.
For example, a custom coded numerical model has been used to predict differences
in the diffusive scaling laws across the depth of a
microchannel.
Fluids were passed through
microchannels of these chips, creating an environment that enabled the cells to develop the 3 - D villi - like structures as found
in the intestine
in the body.

The primary epithelial cells are expanded as 3D organoids, dissociated, and cultured on a porous membrane within a microfluidic device with human intestinal microvascular endothelium cultured
in a parallel
microchannel under flow and cyclic deformation.
In addition, the device's channels are rhythmically stretched and relaxed at a rate of one heart beat per second by applying cyclic suction to hollow chambers placed on either side of the cell - lined
microchannels to mimic physiological deformations of the glomerular wall.
However EISA (like
Microchannel — circa 1987 — which was the proprietary IBM architecture that EISA was
in answer to) were not a criteria for NICs, as they were already
in existence since neither architecture took off (EISA did well
in servers, but was too expensive
in desktops).
