Biochip Simulator - Flow-based Microfluidic Biochip Simulation | Morten Foged Schmidt
| | Abstract | Microfluidic biochips are miniaturized devices that are able to integrate, on-chip, the functionalities needed to execute biochemical analysis applications. The development of microfluidic biochips is in a hasty development phase and the need for simulation and design tools is increasing. The design and architecture of biochips changes all the time and designers need to know how their biochip designs will work before physically building them. Flow-based microfluidic biochips are one kind of biochip, where simulation could help find new ways of constructing the biochip architecture and scheduling the experiments on biochips. To the best of our knowledge no simulation method has been developed so fare.
This thesis presents a method to simulate the logic of flow-based microfluidic biochips. The presented simulation method could be characterized as a workflow, from creation of biochip architectures and biochemical application to the results in the form of useful formats and views. Since, no flow-based biochip simulation tools are available at the moment, this project includes a working implementation supporting the findings in this thesis. The tool is called Biochip Simulator. | | Type | Master's thesis [Academic thesis] | | Year | 2012 | | Publisher | Technical University of Denmark, DTU Informatics, E-mail: reception@imm.dtu.dk | | Address | Asmussens Alle, Building 305, DK-2800 Kgs.
