Abstract
Imagine holding a business-card-sized, fully functional biomedical diagnostic lab in your hand. Lab-on-a-chip devices are miniaturized bio-medical laboratories on a small glass/plastic plate. These lab chips can duplicate the specialized functions of their room-sized counterparts such as clinical diagnoses and tests. The advantages of these lab-on-a-chip devices include significantly reduced sample/reagent consumption, very short analysis time, high throughput, automation and portability. The key microfluidic functions required in various lab-on-a-chip devices include pumping and mixing liquids, controlling bio-reactions, dispensing samples and reagents, and separating molecules and cells/particles. Using electrokinetic microfluidics to realize these functions can make the devices fully automatic, independent of external support (e.g., tubing, valves and pump), and truly portable. Understanding, modeling and controlling of various electrokinetic microfluidic phenomena and the electrokinetic
microfluidic processes are essential to systematic design and operation control of the lab-on-achip systems. This presentation will explain the principles of these electrokinetic microfluidic processes and how they are used in lab-on-a-chip devices. Some lab-on-a-chip devices such as real-time PCR chip, immunoassay chip and flow cytometer chip developed in Dr. Li’s lab will be introduced.
 
Dongqing Li obtained his B.A. degree from Zhejiang University in 1982, and his Ph.D. degree at the University of Toronto in 1991. In 1993, Dr. Li joined the faculty of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Alberta, where he was promoted to the rank of full professor in 1999. In that same year he was awarded the McCalla Professorship for research excellence. He later joined the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto, in 2000 as a tenured full professor. From 2005, Dr. Li is H. Fort Flowers Chair Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Vanderbilt University. From September 2008, Dr. Li joined the University of Waterloo as the Tier 1 Canada Research Chair professor in Microfluidics and Nanofluidics. Dr. Li’s research is in the area of electrokinetic-based
microfluidics and nanofluidics with applications in lab-on-a-chip technology. Dr. Li has published 220 papers in leading international journals, 10 book chapters and two books. Dr. Li’s papers have been cited over 5000 times (SCI). He is the Editor-in-Chief of an international journal—Microfluidics and Nanofluidics.
