TL;DR: A microfluidic capillary system (CS) that autonomously transports aliquots of different liquids in sequence: liquids pipetted into the service port of theCS flow unidirectionally through the various sections of the CS, which comprises a 15-pL reaction chamber, into the capillary pump.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of surface modifications of PDMS, inducing properties such as hydrophilicity, electrical conductivity, anti-fouling, energy harvesting, and energy storage (supercapacitors) are discussed.

TL;DR: With this method, CRP is quantitatively detected within 10 min in one microliter of human plasma down to concentrations of 30 ng ml(-1), which suggests the possibility to detect CRP at clinically relevant concentrations for the management of coronary heart disease (CHD) and systemic inflammation.

TL;DR: The theoretical modeling of these immunoassay applications is presented where a finite difference algorithm is applied to delineate the role of the transport of analyte molecules in the microchannel, the kinetics of binding between the analyte and the capture antibodies, and the surface density of the capture antibody on the assay.

TL;DR: A substantial body of evidence shows that internal stimuli including pH, redox potential, enzymatic activity and temperature are suited to trigger nanosystems, and external controlled systems include electromagnetically-, temperature-, light-, radiation- and ultrasound triggered systems, and for certain clinical indications, such systems have already proven clinical benefit.
