Microfluidics for Hydrodynamics Investigations of Sand Dollar Larvae
Wesley A. Chen, Bryant A. Lopez, Haley B. Obenshain +6
The life cycle of most marine invertebrates includes a planktonic larval stage before metamorphosis to bottom-dwelling adulthood. During larval stage, ciliary-mediated activity ena…
HUVECs-encapsulation via Millimeter-sized Alginate Droplets
Khanh Tran, Brenda A. A. B. Ametepe, Erika L. Gomez +5
Droplet microfluidics are a powerful approach for hydrogel cell encapsulations. Much of the field has focused on single-cell encapsulations with pico-nanoliter droplet volumes nece…
Orthogonal-view Microscope for the Biomechanics Investigations of Aquatic Organisms
Brian T. Le, Katherine M. Auer, David A. Lopez +5
Microscopes are essential for biomechanics and hydrodynamical investigation of small aquatic organisms. We report a DIY microscope (GLUBscope) that enables the visualization of org…
Microfluidics Generation of Millimeter-sized Matrigel Droplets
Cory Arnold, Gabriela Pena Carmona, David A. Quiroz +6
Significant progress has been made to increase access to droplet microfluidics for labs with limited microfluidics expertise or fabrication equipment. In particular, using off-the-…
