0109672SchererThis Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project seeks to develop a low cost,disposable microfluidic manifold that includes a micropump for lab-on-a-chip (LOC)applications. The microfluidic devices will be engineered for integration with disposablechemical and biological LOC detector systems. The key objectives in this Phase I project are : (1) to construct and to test a proof of principle system, (2) to assess the compatability of the technology for an array of LOC applications, (3) to design an integrated microfluidic system, and (4) to determine specifications of the Phase II prototype. The commercial applications of this project are expected to be in a broad range of markets, extending from specialty medical industries to general consumer products. Examples of commercial devices that may potentially incorporate this technology include chemical analysis systems, drug delivery systems, MEMS actuator systems and embedded health monitoring systems.
