  • Publication number: 20200277205
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fluidic purifying device designed to clean a fluid of at least one pollutant, comprising a fluidic purification network, characterized in that the fluidic purification network comprises a plurality of microfluidic channels, each microfluidic channel being defined by one or more fluidttight walls, each microfluidic channel comprising at least one zone on the interior surface of said microfluidic channel that exhibits at least one autonomous purifying agent and each microfluidic channel exhibiting, in such a zone, a height less than 60 ?m in a direction normal to the main direction of flow of the fluid, the purifying agent or agents, and the sizing of said zones, being configured in such a way as to allow at least 10% of the pollutants to be captured and/or broken down by said zones, for at least one flow rate of the fluid that is to be purified.

  • Patent number: 10197570
    Abstract: Disclosed are a microfluidic system (1) configured to receive cell populations and further configured to simultaneously isolate and quantify at least one sub-population of cells for each cell population, and related methods of using the system. The system comprises a substrate having networks of microchannels comprising a first sorting unit configured to isolate, by magnetic attraction, cells of interest in the population in at least one first sorting microchannel. The network comprises a second unit for simultaneous sorting and counting comprising at least one second sorting microchannel defined by a closed wall having an inner face provided with at least one functionalised electrode configured to trap a sub-population. The second unit further comprising means for counting the sub-population by impedance spectroscopy.
