Image: Researchers have demonstrated a new technology that combines a laser and electric fields to create tiny centrifuge-like whirlpools to separate particles and microbes by size, a potential lab-on-a-chip system for medicine and research. Here the technique is used to collect a bacterium called Shewanella oneidensis (Photo courtesy of Purdue University).

Optoelectrokinetic Tech Underlies New Biochip Approach

An optoelectrokinetic manipulation technique was used to separate microorganisms according to size, which demonstrated the potential of this method for the development of "lab-on-a-chip" diagnostic technologies. More...

Image: The polymer solution is free flowing (b, d) at room temperature (25 °C). When heated to body temperature (37 °C), the polymers self-assemble into a cross-linked network, causing the solution to form a gel (c, e) (Photo courtesy of IBM).

Antimicrobial Hydrogels Dissolve and Sterilize Drug-Resistant Biofilms

Synthetic antimicrobial hydrogels have been developed that demonstrate 100% efficiency in destruction of biofilms, with application potential for catheter and medical device coatings, implants, skin, and everyday surfaces. More...
