Integrated planar microfluidic bioanalytical systems
Aaron R. Hawkins,Bridget A. Peeni,John P. Barber,Adam T. Woolley,Holger Schmidt,Milton L. Lee +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for performing rapid, automated and high peak capacity separations of complex protein mixtures through the combination of fluidic and electrical elements on an integrated circuit, utilizing planar thin-film micromachining for both fluidic components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-mode mitigation in an optofluidic chip for particle manipulation and sensing
TL;DR: A new waveguide design for an optofluidic chip is presented that mitigates multi-mode behavior in solid and liquid-core waveguides by increasing fundamental mode coupling to 82% and 95%, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Miniaturization of a planar‐electrode linear ion trap mass spectrometer
TL;DR: Lithographically patterned substrates are a viable pathway to fabricating highly miniaturized ion traps for mass spectrometry and show promise for further miniaturization using assemblies of patterned ceramic plates.
Journal ArticleDOI
20 ghz high performance planar si/ingaas p-i-n photodetector
B. F. Levine,Aaron R. Hawkins,S. Hiu,B. J. Tseng,C. A. King,L. A. Gruezke,R. W. Johnson,D. R. Zolnowski,John E. Bowers +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a planar Si/InGaAs wafer fused p-i-n photodetectors were fabricated and measured, and they show high internal quantum efficiency, high speed, record low dark current, and no evidence of charge trapping, recombination centers, or a bandgap discontinuity at the heterointerface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optofluidic bioanalysis: fundamentals and applications.
TL;DR: It is shown how optofluidic approaches have been pushing the performance limits in bioanalysis, e.g. in terms of sensitivity and portability, satisfying many of the key requirements for point-of-care devices.
