Microfluidic systems in silicon technology
Juránek, Dominik ; Fecko, Peter (referee) ; Gablech, Imrich (advisor)
This thesis is devoted to the topic of microfluidics and the functionality of microfluidic devices when working with blood. It further focuses on the use of microfluidic devices to cut blood cells. The first part of this work is dedicated to the theoretical background of microfluidics, it briefly introduces the history of microfluidic devices and the materials used for their integration, moreover, it talks about the methods used when constructing a microfluidic device in a silicon substrate. Lastly, this section includes a description of blood and its composition and some properties important for working with microfluidic devices. The practical part is concerned with the (manufacturing procedure of) creating a microfluidic and testing of device that can cut red blood cells.

Separation of exosomes from polydisperse suspension in microfluidic devices
Paříková, Anna
The work included fine-tuning the experimental methodology, writing an in-house code for exosome tracking based on a one-way\napproach, and performing a parametric study to investigate the separation potential of the microdevice as a function of channel geometry, flow rate, and viscosity. Preliminary results show that viscoelasticmicrofluidics can be used as an alternative to conventional e xosome separation techniques.

Microfluidic device for cell counting and electrical lysis
Václavek, Tomáš ; Křenková, Jana ; Foret, František
This lecture presents two microfluidic devices as essential units for single cell proteomic analysis, firstly a device for cell counting based on resistive pulse sensing as an alternative to optical platforms based on visual control over the sample input, secondly a unit for electrical lysis of cells using direct current voltage pulses to lyse cells one by one with a possibility to analyze the distinct lysate zones by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
