Quantitative estimation of the results of immunochromatographic tests can substantially enhance the efficiency of their use in human and veterinary medicine, biosafety, consumer protection, and ecological monitoring. Actually, a row of portable detectors has been developed and implemented with the corresponding software for different kinds of immunochromatographic tests, including assays with optical, magnetic, and electrically conductive labels. While retaining the speed, cost effectiveness, and consumer friendliness of the test systems, …

Following the development of microfluidic systems, there has been a high tendency towards developing lab-on-a-chip devices for biochemical applications. A great deal of effort has been devoted to improve and advance these devices with the goal of performing complete sets of biochemical assays on the device and possibly developing portable platforms for point of care applications. Among the different microfluidic systems used for such a purpose, digital microfluidics (DMF) shows …

  Magnetophoresis utilize non-uniform magnetic field for manipulation of microparticles and cells. It is a technique with little heat generation. Moreover, there is little limitation on the choice of device construction material as magnetic fields can penetrate most materials of choice for fabricating microfluidic devices such as glass and polymers.[13] Magnetophoresis is usually gentle and nondestructive for biological analyses of proteins or peptides, and even suitable for large protein complexes …

Inertial microfluidic systems have been arousing interest in medical applications due to their simple and cost- efficient use. However, comparably small sample volumes in the microliter and milliliter ranges have so far prevented efficient applications in continuous bioprocesses. Nevertheless, recent studies suggest that these systems are well suited for cell separation in bioprocesses because of their facile adaptability to various reactor sizes and cell types. Spiral microchannels have already been …

Cell counting image processing and recognition is a technique that involves the use of specialized software to analyze images of cell samples and count the number of cells in the image. This method is faster and less labor-intensive than manual cell counting, and it can provide more accurate results.   The process of cell counting image processing involves several steps. First, the cell sample is prepared as usual, and an …
