The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic presented European hospitals with chronic shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as surgical masks and respirator masks. Demand outstripped the production capacity certified manufacturers these devices. Hospitals perceived emergency local manufacturing PPE an approach to reduce dependence on foreign supply. fact a does not circumvent hospital's responsibility provide appropriate their staff, so needed result in devices that were by testing agencies....
Soft lithography has long remained the state of art to generate necessary micropatterning for molded microfluidic (MF) chips. Previous attempts use printed circuit boards (PCBs) as a cheap and accessible alternative expensive lithographed molds production PDMS MF chip prototypes have shown their limitations. A more in-depth exploration using PCBs mold substrate novel methodology flexible produce highly accurate chips is reported here first time. Cross sections highlight improved accuracy...
Microneedle research has surged due to its potential for user-friendly and painless drug delivery. Their ability pierce the skin adaptability surfaces underscore their relevance ergonomic delivery systems. Therefore rapid, precise affordable prototyping is crucial advancement of this field. Among fabrication techniques, 3D printing remains most agile, particularly with recent technological progress in high precision 8K LCD printers, providing superior geometric quality. This study focuses on...
Cell and developmental biology increasingly relies on tissue mimics such as organoids. We developed validated a fluidic chip for high-throughput, complete visualization of these models in their intact state using light-sheet microscopy.
Wearable electrochemical sensors are driven by the user-friendly capability of continuous monitoring key biomarkers for diagnostic or therapeutic operations. Particularly, microneedle (MN)-based can access interstitial fluid (ISF) in dermis layer skin to carry out on-body transdermal detection analytes. Interestingly, 3D-printing technology allows rapid and versatile prototyping reaching micrometer resolution. Herein, first time, we explore 3D-printed hollow MN patches (1 mm height x 1 base...
