Advances in Microfluidic PCR for Point-of-Care Infectious Disease Diagnostics (2011, background): “In particular, PDMS has emerged as the most promising substrate given its inert and non-toxic properties, improved optical transparency, high thermal stability, and PCR compatibility (Melin and Quake, 2007, Thorsen, Maerkl, 2002, Whitesides, 2006).”
Advantages and challenges of microfluidic cell culture in polydimethylsiloxane devices. (2015, background): “…(Plessy et al., 2013), lab-on-chip platforms (Mark et al., 2010; Ni et al., 2009), large-scale integration and biological automation (Melin and Quake, 2007), micro total analysis systems (Kovarik et al., 2012), drug research (Wu et al., 2010), cellular separations (Bhagat et…”
Static control logic for microfluidic devices using pressure-gain valves (2010, background): “The control-logic block consists of (1) a shift register, which accepts external control input serially (in a bit-by-bit manner), and (2) a state register, which accepts andholds the output of the shift register in a parallel manner (all bits at once).”
