January 27, 2024 | General Technology | University of Cantabria Polarization-Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography (PS-OCT) is a widely-used technique for high-resolution material characterization since it allows for real-time structural analysis and imperfections identification. Nevertheless, when the sample is too big or imperfections are not on the micrometric scale, PS-OCT imaging can become too complex to be performed on a regular basis.
Magnetic beads can be functionalized to capture and separate target pathogens from blood for extracorporeal detoxification. The beads can be magnetically separated from a blood stream and collected into a coflowing buffer solution using a two-phase liquid-liquid continuous-flow microfluidic device in the presence of an external field. However, device design and process optimization, i.e. high bead recovery with minimum blood loss or dilution remain a substantial technological challenge.
