Manipulation of exposure dose parameters to improve production of high aspect ratio structures using SU-8 (2012)
Journal Article
Daunton, R., Gallant, A., & Wood, D. (2012). Manipulation of exposure dose parameters to improve production of high aspect ratio structures using SU-8. Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, 22(7), Article 075016. https://doi.org/10.1088/0960-1317/22/7/075016

The detailed consideration of the chemistry occurring during the fabrication process is very important for SU-8 compared to other photoresists. In SU-8, the solvent does far more than just act as a carrier for the photoactive compounds: it plays a pr...

Manipulation of 10 – 40 μm Diameter Cells Using a Thermally Actuated Microgripper (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This work presents the successful fabrication of a thermally actuated U-shaped microgripper that has been specially designed to enable low voltage operation for bidirectional in plane deflection. The microgripper tips are carefully designed to match... Read More about Manipulation of 10 – 40 μm Diameter Cells Using a Thermally Actuated Microgripper.

A Multifunctional Microgripper Capable of Simultaneous Single Cell Manipulation and Associated Ion Sensing (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The successful modification of the tips of a cellular microgripper into ion selective electrodes capable of sensing calcium ions at concentrations as low as 8x10-5 M is described. The modification involves applying the process of adding the component... Read More about A Multifunctional Microgripper Capable of Simultaneous Single Cell Manipulation and Associated Ion Sensing.

A thermally actuated microgripper as an electrochemical sensor with the ability to manipulate single cells (2011)
Journal Article
Daunton, R., Gallant, A., Wood, D., & Kataky, R. (2011). A thermally actuated microgripper as an electrochemical sensor with the ability to manipulate single cells. Chemical Communications, 47(22), 6446-6448. https://doi.org/10.1039/c1cc11904d

The design and fabrication of a thermally actuated polymeric microgripper incorporating a bare gold working electrode is described. Initial electrochemical tests confirm that the microgripper sensor works as an effective microelectrode, opening up ex...
