Wash Optimization and Analysis for Cross-Contamination Removal Under Physical Constraints in Flow-Based Microfluidic Biochips.

Recent advances in flow-based microfluidics have enabled the emergence of biochemistry-on-a-chip as a new paradigm in drug discovery, point-of-care disease diagnosis, and biomolecular recognition. However, these applications in biology and biochemistry require high precision to avoid erroneous assay outcomes and, therefore, are vulnerable to contamination between two fluidic flows with different b...
