Controlled Electrokinetic Particle Manipulation using Paper-and-Pencil Microfluidics
Sankha Shuvra Das, Shantimoy Kar, Sayantan Dawn +2
Dielectrophoresis is a very promising technique for particle manipulation on a chip. In this study, we demonstrate a controlled mannuvering of polystryrene particles on a simple pa…
Transient drift of Escherichia coli under diffusing Step nutrient profile
Sibendu Samanta, Ritwik Layek, Shantimoy Kar +2
Bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) exhibit biased motion if kept in a spatially non-uniform chemical environment. Here, we bring out unique time-dependent characteristics…
Electrokinetic Energy Harvesting using Paper and Pencil
Sankha Shuvra Das, Shantimoy Kar, Tarique Anwar +2
We exploit the combinatorial advantage of electrokinetics and tortutosity of cellulose-based paper network on a laboratory grade filter paper for the development of a simple, inexp…
A study in blood at pinch
Shantimoy Kar, Aritra Kar, Kaustav Chaudhury +2
The complex fluidic nature of blood, though necessary to serve different physiological purposes, gives rise to daunting challenges in developing unified conceptual paradigm describ…
