BLACK LOOKS NICE TOO… SUGGESTED HEADER SIZE: BELOW IS A SUGGESTED TEXT SIZE AND COLOR • Due to the present limitations on the capacity of micromachined pumps, it is critical to optimize the geometry and surface characteristics of the observation channel. • With proper geometrical arrangement, required flowrate and hydrodynamic focusing are expected to be achievable using micromachined pumps. • Finite element models of sheath flow will be validated for predictive modeling at the “silicon-scale”. The overarching goal of this research is to develop a miniaturized, on-line, and low-cost technology to rapidly detect and quantify bacteria and fungus populations in environmental applications. This poster outlines the first of two phases of research that will achieve a novel integration of microfluidics and micro-integrated optics applicable to microbial detection and quantification in a small, low-power silicon-based package. A rapid, stand-alone microbial detector and quantification device will be produced that is suitable for automated or hand-held operation and direct integration to space-constrained systems such as machine tools and fluid distribution networks. This device is based on the flow cytometry concept, and is called the Micro-Integrated Flow Cytometer (MIFC). USE AS MANY PICTURES AS POSSIBLE, BUT MAKE SURE THEY MAKE SENSE! THEY SHOULDN’T JUST FILL SPACE E.G., EXPLAIN A CONCEPT WITH A PICTURE LIKE THIS: Integrate Excitation, and Detection at “Chip Level” “Chip Level” Integrate Pumps, Electronics, and Channels at “Device Level” Add supporting text below or beside in smaller font… SPONSOR Professor Steven J.
