Rapid Prototyping for Detection and Sampling with Applications in Chemistry and Biology Laboratories
Tuesday, March 09, 2021: 8:30 AM - 11:40 AM
Speaker(s)
Description
Utilizing three dimensional printing for rapid prototyping has dramatically redefined what types of experiments are possible in laboratories throughout the world. It is now possible to go from an untested idea to a working prototype without have to navigate or undergo the expense of complex manufacturing processes. Due to this technology’s wide availability, speed, diversity of ‘printable’ materials, and relatively low cost, 3D printing and lithography techniques have proven to be a valuable tool which has facilitated rapid advances in biological and chemical sciences. This symposium aims to highlight some of the most creative development that sit at this unique interface of material and physical sciences. Innovations presented within this symposium range from the detection of chemical and biological threats for the Department of Defense to the development of wearable sensors for a variety of personalized health applications. Our hope is to inspire thought provoking ideas in the biological and chemical sciences that may now be possible due to the integration of additive manufacturing in laboratories worldwide.

Recent advances in rapid prototyping and point-of-care testing present a wide range of opportunities for in vitro testing and wearable medical devices. While these innovations have the potential to revolutionize medical diagnostics and monitoring, their impact is often limited by logistical considerations of clinical and translational trials. Traditional trials of...

Sample processing is a widely acknowledged but underappreciated challenge in analytical sciences. Significant resources—including time, space, and instrumentation—are often required to concentrate, extract, or purify target species from complex matrices prior to analysis. For example, diagnostically-relevant proteins in blood plasma often exist at concentrations approaching parts-per-billion (or lower), where the...
