Numerical simulations using finite elements method allow the study of micro- and nanofluidic devices in multiple different scenarios.
In my current work, I am modelling resistive pulse sensors, also know as Coulter counters.
This research is performed under the supervision of Dr. Achenbach.
Our devices are developed at SyLMAND beamline at the Canadian Light Source and by collaborators overseas.
Micro- and nanofabrication technologies are employed to create devices inside SyLMAND's cleanroom.
Different types of microfluidic devices have been used for rapid (at point-of-care) testing against pathogens and other health conditions.
We have reviewed the recent literature for application of these microdevices in the scope of COVID-19.
