Microfluidic integration for automated targeted proteomic assays.
A dearth of protein isoform-based clinical diagnostics currently hinders advances in personalized medicine. A well-organized protein biomarker validation process that includes facile measurement of protein isoforms would accelerate development of effective protein-based diagnostics. Toward scalable protein isoform analysis, we introduce a microfluidic "single-channel, multistage" immunoblotting...
متن کاملModification of an automated liquid-handling system for reagent-jet, nanoliter-level dispensing.
Reducing the scale of biochemical reactions is becoming commonplace. Examples include the screening of large libraries of chemical compounds or gene sequences. These applications demand the ability to transfer sub-microliter volumes of fluid. To this end, we have modified a Hamilton MICROLAB 2200 with high-speed solenoids and a liquid pressurization system to modulate volume delivery down to th...
متن کاملVersatile, fully automated, microfluidic cell culture system.
There is increasing demand for automated and quantitative cell culture technology, driven both by the intense activity in stem cell biology and by the emergence of systems biology. We built a fully automated cell culture screening system based on a microfluidic chip that creates arbitrary culture media formulations in 96 independent culture chambers and maintains cell viability for weeks. Indiv...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Enabling Platform for Cell-based Assays
We have developed proprietary technologies for executing continuous flow assays in biochips which mimic human capillaries. Such technologies are integral to the rapidly growing laboratory instrumentation sector for applications in drug discovery, biotechnology, medical diagnostics and environmental studies. A common link between all sectors is the movement toward miniaturization to increase thr...
متن کاملAutomated high-throughput microchannel assays for cell biology: Operational optimization and characterization.
Screening biological readouts in cell culture are increasing in frequency and throughput. In such assays, cell types may be rare and reagents or compounds may be expensive often resulting in a reduced number of conditions and/or replicates. "Tubeless" microfluidics offers a method to reduce this burden, as has been previously shown.1 In addition the In Cell Western (ICW) has recently been adapt...
