A microfluidic column of water index-matched packed microspheresfor label-free observation of water pollutants
; ; ; ; Benito López, Fernando
; (Springer Nature, 2021-03-28)
A microfluidic, label-free optical sensor for water pollutants, which is based on a packed micro-column of microspheres with refractive index similar to that of water, is presented. The perfluoropolyether microspheres are ... -
Fluidic flow delay by ionogel passive pumps in microfluidic paper-based analytical devices
Akyazi, Tugce; Sáez Castaño, Janire; Elizalde, Jorge; Benito López, Fernando (Elsevier, 2016-10-05)
[EN] A new concept for fluid flow manipulation in microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (m-PADs) is presented by introducing ionogel materials as passive pumps. m-PADs were fabricated using a new doubleside contact ... -
Ionogel-based hybrid polymer-paper handheld platform for nitrite and nitrate determination in water samples.
Catalán Carrio, Raquel; Sáez Castaño, Janire; Fernández Cuadrado, Luis Ángel; ; Basabe Desmonts, Lourdes ; Benito López, Fernando (Elsevier, 2022-05)
[EN] Nowadays, miniaturization and portability are crucial characteristics that need to be considered for the development of water monitoring systems. In particular, the use of handheld technology, including microfluidics, ... -
Ionogel-based Nitrite and Nitrate Sensor for Water Control at the Point-of-Need
Sáez Castaño, Janire; ; Fernández Cuadrado, Luis Ángel; Benito López, Fernando (Elsevier, 2016)
The increment of uncontrolled nutrients concentration in water is the subject of increasing environmental concern. In particular, the increment of nitrate causes the eutrophication of algae, leading to fauna and flora ... -
Light-responsive Materials for Microfluidic Applications
Ter Schiphorst, Jeroen; Sáez Castaño, Janire; Diamond, Dermot; Benito López, Fernando; Schenning, Albertus P. H. J. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-03-07)
While the microfluidic device itself may be small, often the equipment required to control fluidics in thechip unit is large e.g. pumps, valves and mixing units, which can severely limit practical use and functionalscalability. ... -
Low‑cost origami fabrication of 3D self‑aligned hybrid microfluidic structures
Sáez Castaño, Janire; Basabe Desmonts, Lourdes; Benito López, Fernando (Springer, 2016-08)
[EN] 3D microfluidic device fabrication methods are normally quite expensive and tedious. In this paper, we present an easy and cheap alternative wherein thin cyclic olefin polymer (COP) sheets and pressure sensitive ... -
Microfluidics and materials for smart water monitoring: A review
Sáez Castaño, Janire; Catalán Carrio, Raquel; Owens, Roisin M.; Basabe Desmonts, Lourdes; Benito López, Fernando (Elsevier, 2021-03-13)
Water quality monitoring of drinking, waste, continental and seawaters is of great importance to ensure safety and wellbeing for humans, fauna and flora. Researchers are developing robust water monitoring microfluidic ... -
On-demand generation and removal of alginate biocompatible microvalves for flow control in microfluidics
Sáez Castaño, Janire; Etxebarria Elezgarai, Jaione; Antoñana Díez, Marta; Benito López, Fernando (Elsevier, 2016-10-29)
[EN] This paper describes, for the first time, the use of alginate hydrogels as miniaturised microvalves within microfluidic devices. These biocompatible and biodegradable microvalves are generated in situ and on demand, ... -
Organic Bioelectronics for In Vitro Systems
(American Chemical Society, 2022-04)[EN] Bioelectronics have made strides in improving clinical diagnostics and precision medicine. The potential of bioelectronics for bidirectional interfacing with biology through continuous, label-free monitoring on one ... -
Phantom Membrane Microfluidic Cross-Flow Filtration Device for the Direct Optical Detection of Water Pollutants
Lanfranco, Roberta; Sáez Castaño, Janire; Di Nicolò, E.; Benito López, Fernando; Buscaglia, Marco (Elservier, 2017-11-06)
The diffusion of autonomous sensing platforms capable of a remote large-scale surveillance of environmental water basins is currently limited by the cost and complexity of standard analytical methods. In order to create a ... -
