Moisture Content Analysis in Powder Samples
An introduction to Moisture content analysis: People often encounter moisture in their daily lives, whether through humidity in the air, the dampness of clothes, or the moisture content in food. High humidity levels, such as those in Dubai or the Asian tropics, can affect comfort and health, prompting the use of dehumidifiers or [...]
Bulk Density Measurement
Bulk density measurement, a fundamental aspect of material characterization, has evolved significantly over the centuries. As with the majority of our scientific endeavors, the basic foundations date back to earlier civilizations. Initially, rudimentary methods were used to estimate the mass and volume of materials. However, as time progressed, the modern era witnessed a [...]
Functional Component Integration in Lab-on-a-Chip Fabrication (part 4)
The previous series of the lab on a chip series discussed depositing thin films of materials onto substrates as a key step in lab-on-a-chip fabrication, since it allows for the creation of functional layers essential for sensors, electrodes, coatings, and other components to adhere to. Now we will look at how Functional Component [...]
Lab-on-a-Chip Fabrication: Deposition Techniques (part 3)
In the second series of lab-on-a-chip, we learned about photolithography, a fundamental technique used to fabricate lab-on-a-chip devices, to define complex microscale features on the substrate. In the third installment of our series, we look more into lab-on-a-chip fabrication by exploring thin-film deposition techniques. Thin-film deposition is key in enhancing the functionality and [...]
Lab-on-a-Chip fabrication: The Power of Photolithography and Etching Technologies (part 2)
In the first part of our series on lab-on-a-chip technology, we looked into various scientific disciplines, including microfluidics, materials science, chemistry, and engineering, that have led to the development of the lab-on-a-chip analytical approach. The article gave a perspective on how advancements in microfabrication techniques, particularly photolithography and thin-film deposition, have enabled precise [...]
