  • Patent number: 12220703
    Abstract: A rotatable platform is provided for use in Lab-on-disc (LoD) applications. A LoD microfluidic device has the rotatable platform and is suitable for analysis of a fluid sample. Real-time monitoring of cells is also provided, using a centrifugal microfluidic platform. A mobile LoD device is provided, which can be used in remote destinations and for point of care applications. A method for monitoring microorganisms under the constant supply of nutrients includes the step of inoculating the cells in a culture chamber in a rotatable microfluidic platform, rotating the platform such that liquid in a reservoir connected to or located on the platform, the liquid comprising nutrients for the cells, is constantly supplied to the cells in the culture chamber by means of shear/centrifugal force resulting from rotating the platform, and continuously monitoring the cells during rotation of the platform by means of imaging, electrochemical and/or electrical measurements.
