Microfluidic device for a nanofabrication apparatus

Project Overview

Problem Statement:
Dr. Campagnola's lab has designed and constructed several microscope-based instruments for creating 3D nano/microstructure tissue engineered scaffolds. These are used for studying cell-extracellular (ECM) interactions in cancers and fibrosis as well as for general biology applications. Currently, the method of introducing and eliminating excess protein solution is done by hand with a micropipette. This process is rather tedious and prolongs the fabrication process. Our client seeks an automated system capable of introducing protein solution, filtering excess precipitate, and recovering unpolymerized protein solutions for re-use. Ideally, the device will be controlled by pumps and integrated into the current LabVIEW framework.
