Lab-On-A-Chip Overview ENGR Lecture Slides

Lab-on-a-Chip Project  As part of the project in ENG , your team will:  Innovate,  Design,  Build,  Document and  Test a cheap, portable Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC)  To obtain these deliverables, you will learn important tools like:  Time management and task scheduling,  Team communications and meetings,  Fair division of labor and  Team member responsibilities

Lab-on-a-Chip  Small scale chemical lab in a portable and disposable format.  Incorporates sampling, mixing, reacting, sensing, and output all in a single device.  Small sample sizes  Easier to obtain  Require smaller amounts of reagents  Disposable/Recyclable  Inexpensive materials & manufacturing techniques

Relating the LOC to EDP Brainstorming design ideas Choose your design Solidworks drawing Test Build 1 st design Modified 2 nd design

Additional Lab Components  Nanotechnology Modules (NTM)  An integral part of your lab assignments  NTM Quizzes on Carmen  NTM modules are available on Carmen  Nanotechnology Lab Tours (Project Description Document section – Nanotech Lab Tour)  Visit various laboratories around campus  During the middle of the semester  Please read Lab Tour Summary Requirements given in the project description document  Lab Tour Summary – check course website for due dates

Project Notebook  The purpose of the project notebook is to document all work undertaken by the team during the course of the semester.  Project notebook contains all information required for implementation of the project, in a sequential fashion.  The project notebook is worth 50 points  Project notebooks will be checked on a weekly basis in the Lab sessions  Final submission of Project Notebook within the first five minutes of the Poster Presentation session. Any late submissions are subject to a 30% deduction (50 x 0.3 ≈ 15 points)  Project Description Document section – Project Notebook/Reporting

Testing  The team will be graded on the basis of the final test  Scoring will be based on -  Calibration  Repeatability  Relative Indication  Accuracy  Sample Delivery  Chip Cleaning  No Disassembly  Project Description Document section – Testing the Chip

Assignment submissions  Various documents and reports etc. will be due at the beginning of lab sessions during the entire project:  30% will be deducted for late submissions!  Refer to the course website for due dates
