A Double Emulsion-Based, Plastic-Glass Hybrid Microfluidic Platform for Protein Crystallization
This paper reports the design and construction of a plastic-glass hybrid microfluidic platform for performing protein crystallization trials in nanoliter double emulsions. The double emulsion-based protein crystallization trials were implemented with both the vapor-diffusion method and microbatch method by controlling the diffusion of water between the inner and outer phases and by eliminating ...
متن کاملA complete microfluidic screening platform for rational protein crystallization.
By virtue of their unique mass transport properties, dense integration, and low reagent consumption, microfluidic devices have emerged as viable technologies for protein crystallization. Current microfluidic crystallization technologies have focused on two separate strategies: one using the large-scale integration of active microvalves,1 and one using two-phase flows for the mixing and encapsul...
متن کاملHybrid Integrated Silicon Microfluidic Platform for Fluorescence Based Biodetection
The desideratum to develop a fully integrated Lab-on-a-chip device capable ofrapid specimen detection for high throughput in-situ biomedical diagnoses and Point-of-Care testing applications has called for the integration of some of the novel technologiessuch as the microfluidics, microphotonics, immunoproteomics and Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS). In the present work, a silicon based mi...
متن کاملFabrication of polymersomes using double-emulsion templates in glass-coated stamped microfluidic devices.
Polymersomes are vesicular self-assemblies of amphiphilic diblock copolymers; they consist of a spherical compartment enclosed by amacromolecular bilayer and have great potential as encapsulation and release systems. They offer enhanced mechanical and structural stability as compared to vesicles made from phospholipids or detergents. By tailoring block lengths, block chemistry and functionaliza...
