Lab-On-A-Chip OverviewENGR 1182.03Lecture Slides

Lab-on-a-Chip Project As part of the project in ENG 1182.03, your team will:

Innovate,

Design,

Build,

Document and

Test a cheap, portable Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC)

To obtain these deliverables, you will learn important tools like:

Time management and task scheduling,

Team communications and meetings,

Fair division of labor and

Team member responsibilities

Lab-on-a-ChipSmall scale chemical lab in a portable and

disposable format. Incorporates sampling, mixing, reacting, sensing, and

output all in a single device.

Small sample sizes Easier to obtain Require smaller amounts of reagents

Disposable/Recyclable Inexpensive materials & manufacturing techniques

Relating the LOC to EDP

Additional Lab Components Nanotechnology Modules (NTM)

An integral part of your lab assignments NTM Quizzes on Carmen NTM modules are available on Carmen

Nanotechnology Lab Tours (Project Description Document section – Nanotech Lab Tour) Visit various laboratories around campus During the middle of the semester Please read Lab Tour Summary Requirements given in the project

description document Lab Tour Summary – check course website for due dates

Project Notebook The purpose of the project notebook is to document all work

undertaken by the team during the course of the semester. Project notebook contains all information required for implementation of the project,

in a sequential fashion. The project notebook is worth 50 points Project notebooks will be checked on a weekly basis in the Lab sessions

Final submission of Project Notebook within the first five minutes of the Poster Presentation session. Any late submissions are subject to a 30% deduction (50 x 0.3 ≈ 15 points)

Project Description Document section – Project Notebook/Reporting

Testing The team will be graded on the basis of the final test

Scoring will be based on - Calibration
