Welcome to the homepage of the Microfluidics Laboratory. Our aim has recently been on the development of paper based microfluidic devices, that are accurate, highly sensitive, low cost, portable and easy to use, for point-of-care diagnostics and on-site sensitive detection of environmental pollutants. The research has been supported by NSF-PIRE, NSF-EPSCoR and the State of RI STAC grants.
