Kev tsim lub tshuab cua sov rau hauv lub tshuab ua haujlwm (lab-on-a-chip) feem ntau txhais tau hais tias tso thiab ua cov txheej txheem nyias ntawm cov hlau, txheej txheem uas yuav tsum tau ua kom huv si thiab tshuaj lom. Ib lub laser, txawm li cas los xij, tuaj yeem taug qab lub graphene cua sov Circuit Court ncaj qha mus rau ib daim ntawv ntawm cov yas polyimide zoo tib yam hauv vib nas this, tsim kom muaj cov pob tshab, cov kab hluav taws xob uas ua rau tsuas yog cov tshuaj tiv thaiv chamber. Cov cuab yeej tawm tshiab no -laser-induced graphene (LIG)- yog hloov pauv li cas hauv zos, cov qauv cua sov tau muab tso rau hauv microfluidic thiab diagnostic chips, nrog rau qhov cuam tshuam loj rau cov khoom siv kho mob nqa tau. Covlaser induced graphene pob tshab rhaub lab ntawm ntitxoj hauv kev hloov cov tshuab cua sov ib txwm siv nrog carbon-based, optically ntshiab, thiab lwm yam biocompatible.
Laser-Induced Graphene Ua li cas
Cov txheej txheem yog qhov yooj yim heev. Kev lag luam CO₂ laser cutter (feem ntau yog 10.6 µm wavelength) yog programmed los luam theej duab nyob rau saum npoo ntawm polyimide zaj duab xis, feem ntau hom uas yog Kapton®. Lub laser beam muab lub zog siab ceev mus rau qhov chaw tsom, nce qhov kub ntawm cov polyimide hauv zos mus txog 400 degree. Qhov khaus, qhov chaw nyob hauv cov duab tshav kub-thermally hloov cov yas mus rau hauv qhov ntxeem tau ntawm ob peb txheej graphene flakes. Cov pa roj carbon atoms hauv cov saw hlau polymer tau nrawm nrawm, thaum cov ntsiab lus tsis yog carbon (hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen) hloov zuj zus raws li cov pa roj. Dab tsi tseem tshuav yog peb-dimensional, foam-zoo li qauv ntawm cov ntawv sib txuas graphene.
Cov qauv ntawm cov kab laser txhais tau tias lub tshuab cua sov. Ib tug laser cwj mem kos lub rhaub nyob rau hauv graphene: los ntawm kev txav lub beam nyob rau hauv lub computer tswj, txhua yam arbitrary conductive geometry yuav inscribed. Cov kab ncaj nraim, cov qauv serpentine, thiab interdigitated electrodes yog txhua yam ua tau. Cov tsis hloov pauv polyimide tseem pob tshab thiab hloov pauv tau, thaum lub laser-induced graphene zoo li ib qho tsaus grey lossis dub kab. Txawm li cas los xij, vim tias cov txheej graphene nyias nyias (feem ntau kaum ntawm micrometers) thiab ntxeem tau, nws yuav luag tsis pom thaum pom hauv qab lub teeb xa mus, tso cai rau lub pob tshab ua haujlwm ntawm lub lab-on-a-chip khaws cia.
Transparent cua sov: Ib qho tseem ceeb yuav tsum tau rau Lab-on-a-Chip
Nyob rau hauv ib qho khoom siv lab-on-a-chip, microfluidic channel nqa cov qauv tshuaj lom neeg (xws li, ntshav, cell suspensions, los yog reagents) los ntawm lub khob me me los yog polymer nti. Ntau qhov kev ntsuam xyuas, xws li polymerase saw tshuaj tiv thaiv (PCR), yuav tsum tau tswj qhov kub thiab txias ntawm qhov chaw tshwj xeeb. Lub tshuab cua sov yuav tsum tau muab tso rau ze rau ntawm cov tshuaj tiv thaiv chamber, tab sis nws yuav tsum tsis txhob thaiv qhov muag pom rau lub tshuab tsom iav lossis cov fluorescence detectors. Cov cua sov hlau (piv txwv li, kub, platinum, lossis indium tin oxide) yog opaque lossis tsuas yog pob tshab hauv qhov pom. Lawv kuj yuav tsum tau complex sputtering, lithography, thiab etching cov kauj ruam.
Laser-induced graphene muaj lwm txoj kev txaus nyiam:
Siab pob tshab- Lub graphene network yog ntxeem tau thiab nyias txaus tias nws tsis nqus pom lub teeb pom kev zoo. Thaum muab tso rau hauv ib lub polyimide substrate nrog pob tshab microfluidic raws, tag nrho cov cuab yeej tseem pom-dhau, tso cai rau lub tshuab tsom iav lossis lub koob yees duab smartphone kom ntes cov duab ci ntsa iab lossis fluorescence ncaj qha los ntawm lub rhaub.
Patternability- Tsis muaj qhov ncauj qhov ntswg, photoresists, lossis cov neeg tsim khoom xav tau. Lub tshuab cua sov qauv yog kos digitally thiab tsim nyob rau hauv feeb.

Rau cov cua kub ib txwm muaj qhov dav ntawm 500 µm mus rau 1 hli, qhov ua tau zoo yog tsawg txaus los tsim kom muaj qhov tseem ceeb ntawm Joule cua sov nrog voltages ntawm 5–12 V- siv tau nrog cov khoom siv roj teeb uas siv tau.
Thaum ib qho hluav taws xob me me tau siv thoob plaws graphene khiav, cov dej ntws tam sim no thiab cov cua sov tiv taus tshwm sim. Cov ntxeem tau graphene ua npuas ncauj hloov cov cua sov kom zoo rau cov polyimide substrate uas nyob ib sab thiab mus rau txhua qhov microfluidic channel lossis cov tshuaj tiv thaiv chamber hauv kev sib cuag nrog nws. Kub nce mus txog 100-200℃tuaj yeem ua tiav nyob rau hauv vib nas this, nrog rau qhov zoo tshaj plaws spatial localization vim lub laser-txhais qauv txwv tsis pub cua sov rau thaj chaw taug qab.
Kaw-loop kub tswj yog ua tiav los ntawm kev sib koom ua ke me me ntsuas kub ntsuas (RTD) tsim los siv tib txoj kev laser-induced graphene. Ib qho thib ob, cov kab graphene zoo dua yog kos nyob ib sab ntawm lub rhaub, thiab nws cov kev tiv thaiv raug saib xyuas. Nrog rau qhov yooj yim PID tswj algorithm (ua nyob rau hauv lub microcontroller), cov tso zis tso cua sov tuaj yeem hloov kho kom muaj lub hom phiaj kub li ± 0.5℃- txaus rau ntau yam tshuaj lom neeg thiab tshuaj lom neeg, suav nrog PCR thermal cycling.
Biocompatibility thiab Integration Benefits
Carbon, nyob rau hauv daim ntawv ntawm graphene, yog intrinsically biocompatible. Tsis zoo li qee cov cua sov hlau uas tuaj yeem tso cov tshuaj lom ions mus rau hauv cov qauv tshuaj lom neeg, laser-induced graphene tsis tso tawm cytotoxic byproducts. Ntau qhov kev tshawb fawb tau qhia txog kev muaj peev xwm ntawm tes thiab kev ua kom pom tseeb ntawm PCR ncaj qha ntawm LIG-heated chips.

Ib leeg-cell thermal stimulation- Lub tshuab hluav taws xob pob tshab tso rau hauv qab lub twj tso kua mis micro-fluidic tso cai rau cov thermal ramping ntawm ib tus neeg lub hlwb thaum ntsuas los ntawm lub rhaub.
Tswj cov tshuaj tiv thaiv- Cov cua sov hauv cheeb tsam nrawm nrawm cov tshuaj tiv thaiv hauv cov kab tshwj xeeb yam tsis muaj kev cuam tshuam rau thaj chaw nyob sib ze.
Debubbling ntawm microfluidic systems- Lub tshuab hluav taws xob LIG pob tshab tuaj yeem siv los tsim hluav taws xob hauv zos los tsav cov npuas cua uas tsim hauv microchannels.
Kev txwv thiab kev tshawb fawb tam sim no
Txawm hais tias kev siv thev naus laus zis tau muaj txiaj ntsig zoo, ntau qhov kev sib tw tseem yuav tau daws rau kev saws dav dav:
Lub sij hawm ntev stability- Cov qauv graphene ntxeem tau maj mam oxidize ntawm qhov kub siab (siab tshaj 150 degree) hauv huab cua. Encapsulation nrog nyias parylene lossis SiO₂ txheej txhim kho kev ruaj ntseg.
Sheet resistance variability- Qhov zoo ntawm LIG nyob ntawm hom polyimide, laser zog, thiab scanning ceev. Cov kev hloov pauv me me tuaj yeem hloov lub tshuab cua sov los ntawm 10-20%, xav tau kev ntsuas los yog kev tawm tswv yim tswj.
Mechanical yooj- Rau cov ntawv thov uas xav tau lub tshuab hluav taws xob hloov pauv tau (xws li, cov khoom siv kuaj pom tseeb), LIG ntawm polyimide ua haujlwm zoo, tab sis rov khoov tuaj yeem tawg lub graphene network. Kev tshawb fawb rau hauv laser-induced graphene ntawm lwm cov polymer substrates (piv txwv li, PEEK, PET) tseem tab tom ua.
Scale-up- Feem ntau cov haujlwm tau ua tiav ntawm qhov kev tshawb fawb teev (qhov chaw sov ntawm 1-10 cm²). Rau kev tsim khoom loj, yob-rau-yob laser ua tau raug tsim, tab sis cov kev lag luam meej tseem tab tom tshwm sim.
