Course Content
|
BioMEMS is the application of MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) technology in the fields of biomedical and health sciences. Due to their small size (1µm~1mm), BioMEMS have the advantages of low weight, low cost, quick response, high throughput, high efficiency, requiring much less sample/reagent, and easy system integration. BioMEMS found broad applications in disease diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Various BioMEMS products have been developed, such as microfluidic devices, neural interface devices, µTAS (micro total analysis systems), lab-on-a-chip, DNA chips, micro drug delivery system, microsurgical tools, biosensors. - Comprehending fundamentals of bio-MEMS technology - Describing typical bioMEMS devices - Examining the types of typical BioMEMS devices and their applications
