Abstract Details

2000, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Electrical Engineering.
With rapid advancements in micro fluidics making it an extremely important section in the field of biological and bioelectronics research, the availability of suitable MEMS components for micro fluidic applications also becomes important. Such components include micro valves, micro pumps, micro flow sensors and bio filters. In the past few years, a large number of microfluidic prototype devices and systems have been developed at the University of Cincinnati with these components. Microfluidic systems for warfare detection systems have also been developed from commercial components. All these microfluidic systems use the principle of sandwich immunoassay to detect microorganisms in liquid samples. The paths used to achieve this sandwich immunoassay vary from system to system and so does the programming techniques. All these systems need to be portable and this necessitated the use of a microcontroller-based unit. The objective of this research was to develop a system control for all these micro-fluidic systems using a 68HC711 (C (Micro controller) and an ALTERA FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The microcontroller was programmed using ANSI C and it was connected to the host PC through SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) for program development. The microcontroller along with the FPGA controls the various electronics used in this system that is used to perform data acquisition and sampling. A larger scale mesosystem using commercial components has also been developed. This thesis discusses the integration of all these micro-fluidic systems developed at the University of Cincinnati.
