Microfluidic Operations and Network Architecture Characterizations (MONARCH) Project

Abstract

The Microfluidic Operations and Network Architecture Characterizations (MONARCH) research project focused on identifying the general biomedical application set and the specific applications to use a MEMS based reconfigurable microfluidic architecture. The research investigated multiple architectural design focused primarily on continuous flow fluidic systems. The research exploited the significant advantages of droplet-flow technology and how biomedical application research could be enhanced. The research addressed the development of a reconfigurable bio-molecular detection microsystem architecture composed of an array of droplet-actuation and detection sites in a decision tree with reconfigurable pipelines for molecular recognition using parallel, high-speed droplet transport.
