HEATING ELEMENT FOR AN INTEGRATED MICROFLUIDIC PLATFORM

Abstract

The primary objective of this project is to design, develop, and test a heating element for an integrated microfluidic platform. The heating element will be built into the microfluidic platform to enable precise temperature control and thermal cycling for various biological applications. The project will involve designing the heating element using computational modelling, followed by fabrication and implementation with the microfluidic platform. The heating element will be tested to ensure it provides accurate and stable temperature control, and its performance will be compared with existing heating methods. The results of this project will contribute to the development of microfluidic devices that can accurately and efficiently control temperature for various biological applications. The integrated microfluidic platform with the heating element will be a valuable tool for researchers and clinicians in fields such as diagnostics, drug discovery, and point-of-care testing. Overall, this project aims to advance the field of microfluidics and contribute to the development of innovative technologies for biomedical applications.
