Israt Zahan Nishu et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a passive micromixer with vortex-generating mixing units, which achieves efficient mixing with a small pressure drop. By designing four micromixers with different arrangements of mixing units and evaluating the effect of the placement of connecting channels, it was found that the micromixer with dis-located connecting channels outperformed others in terms of mixing index, pressure drop, and mixing performance. The proposed micromixer has the potential to be widely used in microfluidic devices for various analytical procedures due to its simple construction and excellent performance.

Rapid separation of bacteria from primary nasal samples using inertial microfluidics

Jesus Shrestha et al.

Summary: Microbial populations play a crucial role in human health and disease development. The explosive proliferation of opportunistic bacteria in the nasal cavity often leads to diseases. The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistant opportunistic pathogens highlights the importance of studying nasal microbiota and bacterial diversity in understanding pathogenesis and developing microbial-based therapies. However, existing methods for isolating and analyzing these populations in a clinical study are limited, making it challenging to identify and profile potentially harmful bacteria. In this study, a novel microfluidic zigzag channel is proposed for enhanced isolation and detection of bacteria from human clinical nasal swabs, offering a simple, robust, rapid, and cost-effective method for rapid identification of bacterial cell populations from clinical samples.
