Geometry Optimization of Enzymatic Electrochemical Glucose Sensor
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that is on a rising tide. Diabetic patients must regularly monitor their blood glucose levels. One method for designing such a device is using electrochemical principles, specifically amperometry to determine glucose concentration. It is essential to ... Read More
Designing and Fabrication of Lab On a Chip for the Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Erlotinib
Microfluidics and Biosensors are two principal fields that paved the way for the inception of Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) which provides early and cost-effective disease detection, from monitoring to treatment. LOC is a device that uses very small amounts of fluid on a microchip to do certain ... Read More
Analysis of cancer cell behaviour using sub-THz excitation in COMSOL Multiphysics
In this paper, analysis of cancer cell using Sub-THz technology have been studied. Sub-THz technique for cancer detection is a much reliable and safer technique as compared to conventional methods [1,2]. To study the behavior of cancer cells and normal cells using Sub-THz technology, a ... Read More
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy in Carbonate Buffered Media for Biosensing Applications
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a technique commonly used to investigate the properties of the electrode surface and the bulk electrolyte in an electrochemical cell [1]. An AC excitation signal is applied with a frequency range, typically from 0.01 Hz to 1 MHz, and the ... Read More
3-D Modeling of Stresses and Strains in Accessory Carpal Bone Under Maximum Compressive Loading
When treating fractures of the accessory carpal bones in horses, it is important to understand the forces that implants (screws and plates) must withstand. The etiology of the fracture is not fully understood, but their high incidence during exercise suggests a relation to biomechanical ... Read More
Electrothermoplasmonic Flow in Gold Nanoparticle Suspensions
Efficient mixing and pumping of liquids at the microscale is a technology that is still to be optimized. The combination of an AC electric field with a small temperature gradient leads to a strong electrothermal flow that can be used for multiple purposes. Combining simulations and ... Read More
Modeling of Oxygen Metabolism in 3D Cell Constructs with LiveLink™ for MATLAB®
In silico models can be exploited to predict cellular dynamics, such as resource uptake, migration and proliferation. Continuum modelling strategies such as finite element (FE) simulations are amongst the most common, but cannot exhaustively describe the metabolic consumption of cells, ... Read More
Simulation of Bioreactor Flow Characteristics and Cell Cultivation
Bioreactors play a critical role in cultivating biological cells for various applications, such as pharmaceutical production and tissue engineering. Optimizing the cultivation process requires a deep understanding of the flow characteristics within the bioreactor medium. In this study, ... Read More
Multiphysics Inertial Particle Focusing (IFP) Model Validated for 3D Microfluidic Geometries
Inertial focusing of particles in a fluid flow is a physical effect induced by inertial forces already happening at the micro-fluidic scale. COMSOL Multiphysics® has provided an implementation of the drag and lift forces to compute this effect for a constant parallel-wall fluid channel ... Read More
Modeling the Indoor Removal of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by Botanical Biofiltration
Historically, indoor air quality (IAQ) has received less attention than outdoors, although people spend >90% of their time in the indoor environment. A major group of indoor air pollutants is volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are detrimental to human health even at low ... Read More
