Temperature control in microfluidics systems using microwave technology KU Leuven
This project aims at developing integrated microwave or millimeter wave based heating systems for total analysis systems (μTAS), which are miniaturized microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices that perform several laboratory functions on a single device. One of the best known applications is PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), a method of amplifying DNA [Kemp09, Klai04, Laga02, Malt08, Oh11a].
The currently most prevalent temperature control ...
