Abstract -This work studied the mixing behavior of a foreign substance entering into the blood stream. For this study, artificial muscle arteries were designed and manufactured with diameters from 75 μm to 930 μm. The interaction of substances such as water, blood and serum was studied. After the devices were fabricated, the study was conducted using a characterization platform that consisted on a precision micropump module and an optical system which delivers high-res frame by frame information, and realtime moving microscopic samples.
Keywords – Artificial artery, drug delivery, microfluidics dynamics

Abstract - The care and protection of world resources propose nowadays new challenges and compromises, which require a rapid action to assure future availability. Constant efforts have been made to control changes that might affect life; continuous surveillance plays a key-role on environmental conservation and different methods had been used to determine the quality of such resources. The aim of the current research is the design of an easy to use, yet cheap, biosensor, based on electrical properties of different microorganisms, confined in a suitable microestructure.
