Monolithic membrane valves and diaphragm pumps for practical large-scale integration into glass microfluidic devices
TL;DR: In this paper, elastomer membrane valves and diaphragm pumps suitable for large-scale integration into glass microfluidic analysis devices are fabricated and characterized, and a three-layer valve and pump design features simple non-thermal device bonding and a hybrid glass-PDMS fluidic channel.
Patent
Fluid control structures in microfluidic devices
TL;DR: In this paper, a monolithic elastomer membrane associated with an integrated pneumatic manifold allows the placement and actuation of a variety of fluid control structures, such as structures for pumping, isolating, mixing, routing, merging, splitting, preparing, and storing volumes of fluid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and evaluation of a microdevice for amino acid biomarker detection and analysis on Mars
Alison M. Skelley,James R. Scherer,Andrew D. Aubrey,William H. Grover,Robin H. C. Ivester,Pascale Ehrenfreund,Frank J. Grunthaner,Jeffrey L. Bada,Richard A. Mathies +8 more
TL;DR: Field tests of the MOA successfully detected amino acids at 70 parts per trillion to 100 parts per billion in jarosite, a sulfate-rich mineral associated with liquid water that was recently detected on Mars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated Hydrogenated Amorphous Si Photodiode Detector for Microfluidic Bioanalytical Devices
Toshihiro Kamei,Brian M. Paegel,James R. Scherer,Alison M. Skelley,Robert A. Street,Richard A. Mathies +5 more
TL;DR: The a-Si:H detector exhibits high sensitivity at the emission wavelengths of commonly used fluorescent dyes and is readily microfabricated and integrated at low cost making it ideal for portable microfluidic bioanalyzers and emerging large scale integrated microfluidity technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sulfate minerals and organic compounds on Mars
Andrew D. Aubrey,H. James Cleaves,John H. Chalmers,Alison M. Skelley,Richard A. Mathies,Frank J. Grunthaner,Pascale Ehrenfreund,Jeffrey L. Bada +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, Amino acids and amines appear to be preserved for geologically long periods in sulfate mineral matrices, which suggests that sulfate minerals should be prime targets in the search for organic compounds, including those of biological origin.
