Welcome to the homepage of the Microfluidics Laboratory<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
