Meetings via WhatsApp & Google Meet during MCO
Following the government’s Movement Control Order (MCO) to prevent the widespread of the COVID-19 outbreak, INEE’s staff are no exception to the implementation.
However, the MCO does not prevent us from continuing to work at home.
To continuously monitor and streamline our work progress, we held meetings through WhatsApp Group and Google Meet sessions.
These online meetings have helped us perform our duties throughout the MCO.

Design and fabrication of PDMS microfluidics device for rapid and label-free DNA detection
Abstract – Microfluidics explores the manipulation of fluid in small volume, a multidisciplinary field is imperative for DNA extraction. This study offers a simple yet substantial methodology for the fabrication of microfluidics structure-based polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) biopolymer on a glass substrate with SU-8 photoresist for label-free detection of pathogenic genomic DNA. Two microfluidics designs for DNA detection were based on AutoCAD software, both contain two inlets and one outlet, with dimensions of 28 mm wide, and 18 mm long, and total surface area of 504 mm2. The designs were patterned in such particular sizes and dimensions to test fluid delivery and enhancement in biochemical processes in DNA extraction, while maintaining economical values as a disposable chip. Both microfluidics devices showed no leakage during fluid delivery, have heights of 97.97 and 103.44 μm, and surface roughness of 0.15 and 0.07 μm, respectively. DNA extraction from pathogenic fungus Ganoderma boninense was run on PDMS microfluidic device and UV–Vis analysis confirmed successful extraction with peaks found at 260–280 nm. Current–voltage (I–V) measurement confirmed the accuracy of microfluidic device for the specific pathogen with both real and synthetic samples of G. boninense illustrating the similar graph values of only 0.000005 A difference at 1.0 V after hybridization.

CSR Programme: Sharing knowledge about proposal, thesis writing and research project with MRSM Langkawi student
On the previous March 5, 2020, Dr. Nor Azizah binti Parmin from Institute of Nano Electronic Engineering (INEE) was invited as a speaker by MRSM Langkawi to share her knowledge in proposal and thesis writing to MRSM teachers and students. She also shares her research innovation project in this talk programme.
More than 200 students Form 3, 4, and 5 with their teachers were involved in this programme. This programme was led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mohd Rashidi Che Beson from School of Computer & Communication Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP). Besides Dr. Nor Azizah Parmin, Dr. Mohamad Nur Khairul Hafizi Rohani from School of Electrical System Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) also invited by MRSM Langkawi as a speaker.
We hope that this sharing knowledge programme will provide students with valuable experience and knowledge as well as interest in science and technology.
