Interface Acoustic Waves in 128° YX-LiNbO₃/SU-8/Overcoat Structures by Cinzia Caliendo, Massimiliano Benetti, Domenico Cannatà, Farouk Laidoudi, Gaetana Petrone

“…Although the interest in IAWs was born many years ago for packageless applications, it can currently be renewed if thought for applications in microfluidics. Indeed, the IAWs may represent a valid alternative to standing SAWs, which are strongly attenuated when travelling beneath the walls of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic channels for continuous flow particle manipulation, provided that the channel is excavated into the overcoating.…”

Label-free determination of diffusion coefficients at the nanoscale through modelling of the Surface Plasmon Resonance signal. by Gabriele Antonio Zingale, Irene Pandino, Damiano Calcagno, Maria Luisa Perina, Nunzio Tuccitto, Giuseppe Grasso

“…Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is normally used to measure the kinetic parameters of biomolecular interactions between a molecule immobilized on a gold surface and another one flowing in a microfluidic channel above the surface. During the SPR measurements, convection-diffusion phenomena occur inside the microfluidic channels, but they are generally minimized by appropriate experimental setup in order to obtain diffusion free kinetic parameters of the molecular interactions. …”
