Bridging NMR, Digital Microfluidics, and Semiconductors
Chapter
An essential part to evaluate the success of global health is the access to appropriate diagnostic tools [1]. A commendable diagnostic tool should be able to identify the disease occurred from the individuals ...
Chapter
In retrospect, this book firstly reviewed recent CMOS biosensors for in vitro diagnosis according to their transducing mechanisms (Chap. 2). Among these, NMR-based detec...
Chapter
We describe a micro-NMR relaxometer miniaturized into palm size and electronic-automated for multistep multi-sample chemical/biological diagnosis. The co-integration of microfluidic and microelectronic technologi...
Chapter
In this chapter, we reported several portable nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) systems implemented with silicon integrated circuits (IC). Being the initial researchers in the NMR on IC field, we firstly propos...
Chapter
CMOS technology enables low-cost and large-scale integration of transistors and physical sensing materials on tiny chips (e.g., <1 cm2), seamlessly combining the two key functions of biosensors: transducing and s...
Chapter
We report a micro-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system compatible with multi-type biological/chemical lab-on-a-chip assays. Unified in a handheld scale (dimension, 14 × 6 × 11 cm3; weight, 1.4 kg), the system ...
Article
A dynamic latched comparator can suffer from three non-idealities: offset voltage, random noise and kickback noise. Specifically in an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) the kickback noise of a comparator can n...
