In this work, we present a micro-opto-fluidic platform to distinguish water and alcohol samples flowing in rectangular glass micro-capillaries laid onto a bulk Aluminum mirror illuminated by the broadband radiation emitted by a Tungsten lamp. The flu...
In this work, we demonstrate spectral phase-shift interferometry operating in the near-infrared wavelength range for refractive index (RI) monitoring of fluidic samples in micro-capillaries. A detailed theoretical model was developed to calculate the...
The refractive index of cells provides insights into their composition, organization and function. Moreover, a good knowledge of the cell refractive index would allow an improvement of optical cytometric and diagnostic systems. Although interferometr...
In this work, we present a micro-opto-fluidic platform for the analytical testing of alcoholic solutions (isopropyl alcohol, also known as isopropanol, and ethylene glycol) based on their absorption properties in the wavelength region 1.0–1.7 &...
Ethylene glycol (EG) and isopropanol (ISO) are among the major toxic alcohols that pose a risk to human health. However, it is important to distinguish them, since EG is more prone to cause renal failure, and can thus be more dangerous when ingested...
Ultrasonic particle manipulation (UPM), a non-contact and label-free method that uses ultrasonic waves to manipulate micro- or nano-scale particles, has recently gained significant attention in the microfluidics community. Moreover, glass is opticall...
