This text describes different aspects of the design of a Doctor-on-a-Chip device. Doctor-on-a-Chip is a DNA analysis system integrated on a single chip, which should provide all of the advantages that stem from the system integration, such as small sample volume, fast and accura…

This experimental study investigates the feasibility of using a lens-less charge-coupled device (CCD) for the detection of organic and inorganic fluorophores. The study further investigates the feasibility of this device as a detection sensor in a hand-held Point-of-Care (POC) m…

In this thesis work, designs were developed and implemented for separating plasma from a droplet of whole blood in an active and passive Lab-on-Chip (LOC) device. Nine filters were tested and compared to establish a process of elimination based on the filtration properties and p…

Medical diagnostics contributes a large portion of both time and resources in the timeline of medical treatment. Point-of-Care diagnostics offers the ability to diagnose illness or the risk of certain conditions rapidly and at low cost, affording the opportunity of implementing …
