We survey the different methods and strategies for integrating electrodes with droplet microfluidic platforms, highlight many excellent examples and applications, and outline challenges and opportunities for the field
Electrochemistry is a great fit for microfluidics, especially if small and portable is the goal. There is a lot of opportunity here and we are excited to be working in this field.
Thanks to @librarytmu and @Elsevier this article is published open access. It was a tremendous effort from MSc students Kathy Ly and Aaliya Pathan. Well done!

Big news from our group: Congratulations to our first MSc graduate Kathy!!! 🎂🎊🍾 Kathy's work focused on integrating electrochemical sensing with droplet microfluidics for monitoring enzyme reactions
Really excited that Leacross Foundation is supporting undergrad research in our group this summer to develop organ-on-a-chip models for fibrosis. 3rd year female students from @TorontoMetSci and @FEAStorontometu are eligible to apply. bit.ly/3ZwuhbV
Hey @TorontoMetSci and @FEAStorontometu undergrads--we're hiring! Looking for an undergraduate RA to help build the next generation of tools for biomedical research. See rackusgroup.com/join-us/ for more details
Are you an undergraduate student from 🇦🇺🇧🇷🇨🇱🇨🇳🇨🇴🇫🇷🇩🇪🇭🇰🇮🇳🇲🇽🇵🇰🇰🇷🇹🇼🇹🇳🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸 interested in miniaturization? We have three paid positions for summer 2023 through @MitacsCanada at @TorontoMet More info: globalink.mitacs.ca/#/studen…
Please help if you can!
Hey #microfluidics peeps! One of my grad students is venturing into DLD arrays for particle separation. Is there anyone with practical experience designing and operating these devices I can connect him with?
The first in-person group photo! We had a blast going to Toronto Islands to have a discussion on how to establish norms, practices, and infrastructure to make our group more inclusive and facilitate idea-sharing within a diverse team.

Our former BLG40 thesis student and summer student Hoan My was unable to attend her graduation ceremony this summer but we surprised her with an impromptu ceremony at our professional development day this week. Congrats Hoan My! 🥳 Not only a BSc but Certified Awesome! 😎
We've been silent for a while (busy working) but are pleased to announce we received an @NSERC_CRSNG Discovery Grant to develop tools to measure the molecules single cells release!!
Congratulations to our BSc student William Chen on receiving an NSERC USRA fellowship to work on microfluidic tools for microplastic separations! 🎉🎊
