The primary objectives of the course are as follows: 1. Why a CD as a diagnostic platform? 2. Fluidics compared. Here we compare all the different alternatives to pumping fluids in a microfluidic platform. 4. Fluidics image acquisition. How do we visualize flow in a rotating platform? 5. CD fluidics theory background. 6. Electrical forces on the CD - Overview - Electrochemical Detection on the CD - Wi-FI CD - C-MEMS Electrodes -Redox Amplification on the CD 7. How to fabricate microfluidic CDs? 8. Applications Sample preparation DNA Amplification Detection Pneumatic propulsion: bringing fluids back to the center Extreme Point of Care
