| Researchers at Purdue University have developed a novel sessile droplet method for highly efficient colorimetry on nonwetting substrates. Colorimetric reactions include mixing a coloring agent with a droplet of biologic sample quickly enough to cause a reaction while also producing a measure of sample concentration before these aqueous samples evaporate. The method created by Purdue University allows for diffusion two orders of magnitude higher than typical micro-titer plates. Natural buoyancy of droplets leads to induced convection, and can be coupled with surface heating for even faster mixing results – without dissipation. High throughput testing is now possible as the plates adapt instantly to droplet volume, and the fabrication of the overall colorimetry test setup is simplified. Advantages: -Adapts to volume of droplets -Compatible with nonwetting surfaces -Fast fabrication Potential Applications: -Laboratory Research -Materials and Manufacturing |
