Upon operation, the magnetron of a conventional microwave oven induces a pattern of standing electromagnetic waves in the oven cavity. Interactions with the field define the amount of energy absorbed in a part of a food object within the cavity. The well-known inhomogeneous heating ... En savoir plus

基于纸基微流控芯片(μPAD)的核酸提取和扩增反应需均匀稳定、快速响应的热源。半导体制冷器具有无需制冷剂和体积小等优点，可为纸基芯片提供便携式、低功耗分析平台。相较于其他传统核酸扩增与检测设备，μPAD可以借助内部纤维结构的毛细作用自驱动输送流体介质。并且，微尺度下纤维结构具备较高的比表面积，在原理上可改善常规比色、荧光等检测方法的检出限和精准度。然而，滤纸材料本征参数对试剂溶液动态扩散过程和反应结果影响很大，数值仿真模拟是μPAD性能分析和优化设计的重要途径。本文应用COMSOL®热电效应耦合模块和非等温流动耦合模块，获取芯片内部的温度场信息，评价μPAD温控系统设计 ...
