Surface Reaction of Electroosmotic Flow-Driven Free Antigens With Immobilized Magnetic-Microbeads-Tagged-Antibodies in Microchannels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Immunoassays based on reactions between target pathogen (antigen; Ag) and antibody (Ab) are frequently used for Ag detection. An external magnetic field was used to immobilize magnetic microbeads-tagged-antibodies (mMB-Ab) ...
Enhanced Capture of Magnetic Microbeads Using Combination of Reduced Magnetic Field Strength and Sequentially Switched Electroosmotic Flow—A Numerical Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Magnetophoretic immunoassay is a widely used technique in labonchip systems for detection and isolation of target cells, pathogens, and biomolecules. In this method, target pathogens (antigens) bind to specific antibodies ...
Diagnostic Uncertainties During Assessment of Serial Coronary Stenoses: An In Vitro Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Currently, the diagnosis of coronary stenosis is primarily based on the wellestablished functional diagnostic parameter, fractional flow reserve (FFR: ratio of pressures distal and proximal to a stenosis). The threshold ...
Improved Flow Rate in Electro Osmotic Micropumps for Combinations of Substrates and Different Liquids With and Without Nanoparticles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new design for an electroosmotic flow (EOF) driven micropump was fabricated. Considering thermal management applications, three different types of micropumps were tested using multiple liquids. The micropumps were ...
Comparison of Heat Transfer Enhancement Between Magnetic and Gold Nanoparticles During HIFU Sonication
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Long procedure times and collateral damage remain challenges in high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) medical procedures. Magnetic nanoparticles (mNPs) and gold nanoparticles (gNPs) have the potential to reduce the ...
Methodology for Hemodynamic Assessment of a Three-Dimensional Printed Patient-Specific Vascular Test Device
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Assessing hemodynamics in vasculature is important for the development of cardiovascular diagnostic parameters and evaluation of medical devices. Benchtop experiments are a safe and comprehensive preclinical method for ...
Numerical Validation of Diagnostic Uncertainties During In Vitro Assessment of Serial Coronary Stenoses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Use of a Negative Pressure Containment Pod Within Ambulance-Workspace During Pandemic Response
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Emergency medical service (EMS) providers have a higher potential exposure to infectious agents than the general public (Nguyen et al., 2020, “Risk of COVID-19 Among Frontline Healthcare Workers and the General Community: ...
Influence of Variable Native Arterial Diameter and Vasculature Status on Coronary Diagnostic Parameters
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In current practice, diagnostic parameters, such as fractional flow reserve (FFR) and coronary flow reserve (CFR), are used to determine the severity of a coronary artery stenosis. FFR is defined as the ratio of hyperemic ...
A Review of Biotransport Education in the 21st Century: Lessons Learned From Experts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The field of bioengineering is relatively new and complex including multiple disciplines encompassing areas in science and engineering. Efforts including the National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored Integrative Graduate ...
