Title Project Title: High-throughput droplet-based microfluidics
Supervisor Steve Shih
Description The goal of this project is to design a control board that can be integrated into a microfluidic automation setup and provides rapid and autonomous sorting of droplets into binary microchannels with very high throughput (> 1000 droplet/s). The proposed electronic system must: • Be modular and interface with existing automation infrastructure • Provide fast response with high efficiency (high-speed on/off switches) • Provide rapid droplet actuation • Realtime response • Have software interface • Have signal processing module for PMT connections Additionally, emphasis will be placed on creating a system that is compact and portable.
Student Requirement FPGA Board Design Electrical Relay and Solid-State Relays for Switching Microcontrollers (Mojo v3) Programming (Python, Xilinx, C) look up FPGA Signal processing Basic understanding of fluidics
Tools Circuit prototyping (FPGA boards, miscellaneous electronics, solder iron, multimeter, oscilloscope)
