Micro/nanofluidic characterisation facility: Microfluidics promises to enable diagnosis of medical diseases using devices which perform laboratory experiments but on a scale which means the entire system can be hand-held. Whilst the fabrication of miniaturised fluidic channels is well established, the challenge is to bring additional functions onto the chip reducing the reliance on external pumps and electronics. This facility will allow the characterisation of technologies which address on-chip sample preparation using pulsed ultrasonic waves, filtration and pumping using nanofluidic structures, and detection using on-chip circuitry. As such the facility will have the capability to directly address the challenges which must be met to allow diagnosis in rural underprivileged areas.

微/纳米流体表征设施：微流体有望使用进行实验室实验的设备诊断医学疾病，但规模意味着整个系统可以手持。虽然微流体通道的制造已经很成熟，但挑战在于将额外的功能带到芯片上，减少对外部泵和电子器件的依赖。该设施将允许表征技术，这些技术使用脉冲超声波进行芯片上样品制备，使用纳米流体结构进行过滤和泵送，以及使用芯片上电路进行检测。因此，该设施将有能力直接应对必须应对的挑战，以便在农村贫困地区进行诊断。
