Journal ArticleDOI
Micro-electro-mechanical-systems (mems) and fluid flows
Chih-Ming Ho,Yu-Chong Tai +1 more
TL;DR: The micromachining technology that emerged in the late 1980s can provide micron-sized sensors and actuators that can be integrated with signal conditioning and processing circuitry to form micro-electromechanical-systems (MEMS) that can perform real-time distributed control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Membrane microfilter device for selective capture, electrolysis and genomic analysis of human circulating tumor cells
Siyang Zheng,Henry Lin,Jing Quan Liu,Jing Quan Liu,Marija Balic,Ram H. Datar,Richard J. Cote,Yu-Chong Tai +7 more
TL;DR: Development of a parylene membrane microfilter device for single stage capture and electrolysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in human blood, and the potential of this device to allow genomic analysis is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Portable Filter-Based Microdevice for Detection and Characterization of Circulating Tumor Cells
Henry K. Lin,Siyang Zheng,Anthony Williams,Marija Balic,Susan Groshen,Howard I. Scher,Martin Fleisher,Walter M. Stadler,Ram H. Datar,Yu-Chong Tai,Richard J. Cote +10 more
TL;DR: A novel parylene membrane filter-based portable microdevice for size-based isolation with high recovery rate and direct on-chip characterization of captured CTC from human peripheral blood has the potential to enable routine CTC analysis in the clinical setting for the effective management of cancer patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
IC-processed electrostatic micromotors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the design, fabrication and operation of several micromotors that have been produced using integrated-circuit processing and demonstrate that rotors and stators for these motors are formed from polycrystalline silicon 1.0-1.5 μm thick.
Journal ArticleDOI
3D microfilter device for viable circulating tumor cell (CTC) enrichment from blood
TL;DR: The paper presents and validates this new 3D microfiltration concept for circulation tumor cell enrichment application and provides a highly valuable tool for assessing and characterizing viable enriched circulating tumor cells in both research and clinical settings.
