Microfluidic or 'lab-on-a-chip' devices are commonly used to analyse blood and other fluid samples, which are pumped through narrow channels in a transparent chip the size of a postage stamp.

Micro-device to enable tailored experiments in drug development and disease research via new 'organ-on-chip' systems.

First, they put small samples of blood into three slender tubes and taped each tube to a different arm of a store-bought spinner. Then they spun the spinner as you typically would, waiting for it ...

IN the performance of blood grouping and cross-matching tests a source of inconvenience, and of possible error, is the operation of transferring the tubes in which the reactions are performed from ...

A centrifuge is a standard piece of laboratory equipment that spins fluid samples at high speed to separate out their components. For instance, centrifuging a blood sample will separate the red ...

Pea butter, one of Modernist Cuisine ’s most well-known recipes, can be done without this machine, but for the best results a centrifuge is essential.

In demonstrations, the paperfuge was able to centrifuge blood at about 20,000 RPM—a speed comparable to those exerted by conventional benchtop centrifuges.

Stanford researchers created a human-powered centrifuge made from simple components: paper, twine, and plastic. Using nothing but the motions created by its operator, the device can spin at speeds ...

This 20-Cent Paper Centrifuge Uses The Physics Of A Child’s Toy To Lower Lab Costs Rapidly spinning blood is an important step in diagnosing diseases, but the machines that do it are expensive.

Two Rice University students have transformed a simple salad spinner into an electricity-free centrifuge that can be used to diagnose diseases on the cheap.
