The Micro/Nanofluidics Laboratory, directed by
Professor
Brian Kirby, is a research group in the
Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
at Cornell University devoted to research on understanding and application of
micro- and nanofluidic systems. Micro-and Nanofluidics describe
fluidic regimes defined by the length scale
of the flow channels, the techniques for making the devices,
and the dominant physics.
Laser microfabrication
How lasers can be combined with photopolymerization chemistry to make functional
microstructures such as membranes, valves, and tissue scaffolds
Interfacial science
Studying phenomena at the interface between fluids and microdevice substrates
A component of a protein refolding
microchip. We are developing
microdevices with the goal of accelerating pharmaceutical development.
A miniaturized laser-induced fluorescence detector. This, combined with
high-pressure microfluidic control, enables
high-pressure liquid chromatography separations of
proteins and peptides.
