The increased level of interest in the miniaturization of analytical devices has led to a focus on exploring new and inexpensive materials. This dissertation aims to investigate the combination of nascent textile-based microfluidics with electrophoretic control principles to develop the new groundbreaking textile-based electrofluidic systems for the direct and rapid characterization of analytes separated from complex mixtures and matrices. Capillary electrophoretic systems typically comprise inaccessible and fully enclosed micro-capillary or microchannels, with limited sample loading capacitie...

Dr Despina Moschou, who leads lab on chip research at Bath, with the pre-prototype Covid test (Image: Bath University) The LoCKamp (lab on chip amplification) device is claimed to be globally unique due to the integration of all test elements (sampling, identifying specific DNA sequences, and displaying rapid results) in a compact and portable unit. According to Bath, the device’s genetic anal...
