Fully Integrated MEMS Micropump and Miniaturized Mass Flow Sensor as Basic Components for a Microdosing System.

Micromachines (Basel)

November 2024

Department of Electrical Engineering, TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology, Technical University of Munich, 80333 Munich, Germany.

Despite major advances in the field of actuator technology for microsystems, miniaturized microfluidic actuation systems for mobile devices are still not common in the market. We present a micropump concept and an associated mass flow sensor design, which, in combination, have the potential to form the basis for an integrated microfluidic development platform for microfluidic systems in general and microdosing systems in particular. The micropump combines the use of active valves with an electrostatic drive principle for the pump membrane and the valves, respectively.

Dynamics of Blister Actuation in Laser-Induced Forward Transfer for Contactless Microchip Transfer.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

November 2024

School of Material Science and Engineering, Pusan National University, Busan 46241, Republic of Korea.

The rapid evolution of microelectronics and display technologies has driven the demand for advanced manufacturing techniques capable of precise, high-speed microchip transfer. As devices shrink in size and increase in complexity, scalable and contactless methods for microscale placement are essential. Laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) has emerged as a transformative solution, offering the precision and adaptability required for next-generation applications such as micro-light-emitting diodes (μ-LEDs).

Background: A wide variety of laboratory hemostasis tests is available, but the majority is plasma-based, static and unable to assess platelet function and fibrin formation simultaneously. The Total Thrombus-Formation Analysis System (T-TAS) is a microchip-based flow chamber system that simulates in vivo conditions for evaluating whole blood thrombogenicity.

Aim: A comprehensive overview of its applicability in different thrombosis and hemostasis related clinical situations is lacking and therefore this scoping review was performed.

Article Synopsis
  • The Total Thrombus-formation Analysis System (T-TAS) is an automated tool designed to evaluate thrombus (blood clot) formation under simulated blood flow conditions, particularly in patients receiving antiplatelet therapy.
  • This study examined T-TAS's effectiveness in detecting responses to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) among 60 patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) after a surgical procedure.
  • Findings indicated that the platelet-chip (PL-chip) of T-TAS was able to identify low responders to DAPT more effectively than traditional aggregation tests, suggesting it could be a useful tool for monitoring treatment responses in PAD patients.
