Magnetic
actuation offers many advantages: long range of the force, insensitivity to
environmental influences and high force densities. In the last years these
advantages led to increased interest in using this type of actuation for
Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). In microfluidics and BioMEMS however,
magnetic actuation plays only a negligible role, while capillary or
electroosmotic forces dominate.
This book
demonstrates that using magnetic microparticles inside channels or discrete
liquid volumes (microdroplets) augments the applicability of microfluidics
systems especially with respect to miniaturized bioanalytical procedures. The
magnetic microparticles can be used as mobile substrates for the transport of
biomolecules while they simultaneously serve as force mediators, which makes
it, among others, possible to manipulate aqueous droplets and to introduce
macroscopic bioanalytical protocols into microfluidic systems.
Ulrike Lehmann was born in Rostock, Germany, in 1978. She received
her Diploma in Electrical Engineering (Dipl.-Ing.) with a specialization on
Microsystem- and Device-Engineering from the TU Chemnitz, Germany, in 2003. She
subsequently joined the Institute of Microelectronics and Microsystems at the
Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, as a research and
teaching assistant. In 2008 she obtained her PhD for her work on Lab-on-a-Chip
systems based on the manipulation of magnetic microparticles.
Keywords: Lab-on-a-Chip, Magnetic Microparticles, Microfluidics,
Droplet Manipulation, Bioanalysis, Optical Detection, Single Photon
Avalanche Diode (SPAD).
