Chemistry in nano/micro space: measurements & applications

We study advanced nano-micro technologies in chemistry and biochemistry and their applications to integrated analytical devices. We investigate easy and automated analytical technologies for life science,environmental science, food safety, and industrial process. We also investigate novel analytical technologies such as single cell analysis, and single molecule analysis. For the advanced technologies, fundamental chemistry such as chemical reaction and interfacial phenomena in a confined space should be revealed in detail. We study unique advanced measurement tools such as microscopic imaging, and laser microscopy.

Themes

• Laser microscopy for spatially restricted liquid interface measurement
• Development of fluorescent polarization apparatus and one-step immunoassay
• Bioassay utilizing aqueous microdroplet
• Nanoparticle-integrated paper microfluidic device
