Funded Activity Summary

Microfluidic device for microbial separation and concentration. This project will enhance Australia's capabilities and presence in the rapidly expanding field of chemical and biological analysis systems on a chip. We will develop and build handheld devices for microbial concentration that will facilitate earlier and easier detection of potentially pathogenic organisms in critical situations such as epidemiological crises or forensics. The portability and ease of operation of our integrated microfluidic devices and their increased resilience to blockages make them ideal for use in remote areas and non-laboratory settings. Application areas will include disease detection, microbial contamination in food industries and water quality monitoring.
