Optothermal Actuation of Nanofluidic DNA ChipsWednesday, 6 March 2013 at 11:15 Add to Calendar ▼2013-03-06 11:15:002013-03-06 12:15:00Europe/LondonOptothermal Actuation of Nanofluidic DNA Chips Lab-on-a-Chip European Congress in Barcelona, SpainBarcelona, SpainSELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com A nanoimprinted polymer chip with a thin near-infrared absorber layer is used to create local hot-spots by absorption of an infrared laser beam. Large temperature at gradients at the hot-spot yields thermophoretic forces, which are used to manipulate and stretch individual DNA molecules confined in nanochannels. |
