Abstract

A critical characteristic for continuous monitoring using DNA biosensors is the design of the microfluidics system used for sample manipulation, effective and rapid reaction and an ultra-low detection limit of the analyte. The selection of the appropriate geometrical design and control of microfluidic parameters are highly important for the optimum performance. In the present study, a number of different shapes of microchambers are designed and computationally assessed using a Multiphysics software. Flow parameters such as pressure drop, and shear rates are compared. Three-dimensional printing was used to construct the designs and an experimental investigation is underway for the validation of the computational results.
