A passive micromixer for enzymatic digestion of DNA
V. Papadopoulos,I. Kefala,Georgia D. Kaprou,George Kokkoris,Despina Moschou,George Papadakis,Electra Gizeli,Angeliki Tserepi +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a passive micromixer with zigzag geometry is demonstrated to perform simultaneously mixing of a restriction enzyme with DNA and digestion of DNA, and the total length required for complete mixing is estimated by simulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrafast, low-power, PCB manufacturable, continuous-flow microdevice for DNA amplification
Georgia D. Kaprou,V. Papadopoulos,Dimitrios P. Papageorgiou,I. Kefala,George Papadakis,Electra Gizeli,Stavros Chatzandroulis,George Kokkoris,Angeliki Tserepi +8 more
TL;DR: Detailed numerical calculations of the DNA residence time distributions, within an acceptable temperature range for denaturation, annealing, and extension, performed for the first time in the literature, provide useful information regarding the actual on-chip PCR protocol and justify the maximum volumetric flow rate for successful DNA amplification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Miniaturized devices for isothermal DNA amplification addressing DNA diagnostics
Georgia D. Kaprou,George Papadakis,Dimitrios P. Papageorgiou,George Kokkoris,V. Papadopoulos,I. Kefala,Electra Gizeli,Angeliki Tserepi +7 more
TL;DR: This work presents a low-cost and fast DNA amplification device for isothermal helicase dependent amplification implemented in the detection of mutations related to breast cancer as well as the Detection of Salmonella pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
A labyrinth split and merge micromixer for bioanalytical applications
TL;DR: In this article, a planar split and merge (SAM) passive micromixer with labyrinthine microchannels is proposed to efficiently mix biomolecular solutions by combining several advantages of existing MC designs in one realization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of continuous-flow and static-chamber μPCR devices through a computational study: the potential of flexible polymeric substrates
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared two types of micro-PCR (polymerase chain reaction) devices, a continuous-flow and a static-chamber device, with specifications imposed from flexible printed circuit technology, through a computational study.
