• Fabrication of monodisperse alginate microgel beads by microfluidic picoinjection: a chelate free approach 

      Ahmed, Husnain; Stokke, Bjørn Torger (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Micron-sized alginate hydrogel beads are extensively employed as an encapsulation medium for biochemical and biomedical applications. Here we report on the microfluidic assisted fabrication of calcium alginate (Ca-alginate) ...
    • Nanocosm: A well plate photobioreactor for environmental and biotechnological studies 

      Volpe, Charlotte; Vadstein, Olav; Andersen, Geir; Andersen, Tom (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Phytoplankton are key primary producers at the bottom of the aquatic food chain. They are a highly diverse group of organisms essential for the functioning of our ecosystems and because of their characteristics, their ...
    • A system for the high-throughput measurement of the shear modulus distribution of human red blood cells 

      Saadat, Amir; Huyke, Diego A.; Oyarzun, Diego I.; Escobar, Paulina V.; Øvreeide, Ingrid Haga; Shaqfeh, Eric S.G.; Santiago, Juan G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Reduced deformability of red blood cells (RBCs) can affect the hemodynamics of the microcirculation and reduce oxygen transport efficiency. It is also well known that reduced RBC deformability is a signature of various ...
    • Versatile, cell and chip friendly method to gel alginate in microfluidic devices 

      Håti, Armend Gazmeno; Bassett, David; Ribe, Jonas Myren; Sikorski, Pawel; Weitz, David A.; Stokke, Bjørn Torger (Journal article, 2016)
      Alginate is used extensively in microfluidic devices to produce discrete beads or fibres at the microscale. Such structures may be used to encapsulate sensitive cargoes such as cells and biomolecules. On chip gelation of ...
    • Wettability effect on oil recovery using rock-structured microfluidics 

      Yang, Junyi; Saadat, Marzieh; Azizov, Ilgar; Dudek, Marcin; Øye, Gisle; Tsai, Peichun Amy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Surface wettability has a crucial impact on drop splashing, emulsion dynamics, slip flow for drag reduction, fluid–fluid displacement, and various microfluidic applications. Targeting enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications, ...
