Electrospun nanofibers may simplify integration of lab-on-a-chip light sources

Microfluidic chips can simplify a wide range of analytics because they are compact, inexpensive and easily fabricated. However, chips used for fluorescence analysis require a light source. Most light sources are larger than the volume they must illuminate, which makes the entire package larger. Researchers at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., have developed a method for creating light-emitting nanofibers that could put a light source directly into a microfluidic chip. The nanofibers are based on ionic transition metal complexes and are produced by electrospinning, which makes them easy to...Read full article
