    Abstract: A microfluidic device for separating target components from a source fluid includes one or more source channels connected to one or more collection channels by one or more transfer channels. The target components of the source fluid can be magnetic or bound to magnetic particles using a know binding agent. A source fluid containing magnetically bound target components can be pumped through the source channel of the microfluidic device. A magnetic field gradient can be applied to the source fluid in the source channel causing the magnetically bound target components to migrate through the transfer channel into the collection channel. The collection channel can include a collection fluid that is stagnant until a predefined volume of source fluid is processed or a predefined volume of target components accumulate in the collection channel, at which point collection fluid can be pumped into the collection channel to flush the target components out of the collection channel. The target components can be subsequently analyzed for detection and diagnosis.

    Abstract: Micro-machined capacitive sensors implemented in micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) processes that have higher sensitivity, while providing an increased linear capacitive sensing range. Capacitive sensing is achieved via variable-area sensing, which employs a transduction mechanism in which the relationship between changes in the capacitance of variable, parallel-plate capacitors and displacements of a proof mass is generally linear. Each respective variable, parallel-plate capacitor is formed by a finger/electrode pair, in which both the finger and the electrode have rectangular tooth profiles that include a plurality of rectangular teeth. Because changes in the overlapping area of the finger and the electrode are multiplied by the number of rectangular teeth, while the standing capacity of the micro-machined capacitive sensor remains relatively high, the sensitivity of the micro-machined capacitive sensor employing variable-area sensing is significantly increased per unit area of the finger and the electrode.
