Funded Activity Summary

Next generation facility to measure microfluidic flows. Microfluidics is ubiquitous in society - for example, biofluids and engineered lab-on-a-chip platforms. This project aims to establish a novel flow measurement facility tailored for microfluidic flows with capabilities beyond current commercial flow diagnostic systems. This will enable engineers and scientists to probe the fluid dynamics of these flows with unprecedented detail to explain their underlying physical mechanisms. Beyond fluidic measurement, the facility provides the capacity to accurately observe micro-organisms, biological activity (cell adhesion, thrombus stability, fluorescent receptor markers), thermal collector systems (high flux, microchannel-based solar receivers), and many more mechanical phenomena at the micro-scale.
