Advanced Fluidics for Cancer Diagnostics

Project number
25022
Organization
Roche Tissue Diagnostics
Offering
ENGR498-F2024-S2025
1. The fluidics device we are investigating shall be integrated according to the manufacturer recommendations.
2. The team shall work closely with the fluidics device manufacturer’s engineers and support to set up and control the device.
3. Functionality with deionized water shall be demonstrated for various liquid supply sources (e.g. from a 13 psi pressurized container and
container under atmospheric pressure); for different delivery
Components of a typical Cancer Diagnostic Instrument (existing nozzles, Volume Adjust, and Rinse/Jetting).
4. The design team shall develop and demonstrate a user method of controlling the parameters of the device’s stepper motors in lab environment
5. The design team shall prove a method of Weight Data collection for fluidics delivery, jetting, precision volumes, ect. (Labview, Arduino, etc.)
6. STRETCH GOAL – Design and execute testing protocol to characterize the fluidics device’s suitability in medical diagnostic instruments. (e.g. repeatability, reproducibility, precision, accuracy,
cross-contamination risk)
