Measuring Liquid Volumes in Sub-nanoliter Wells
We are developing a method for high-throughput screening using arrays of “nanowells” built into a silicon substrate. These wells can serve as bioreactors for studying a variety of biochemical reactions such as the enzymatic activity that occurs in yeast metabolism. For a variety of studies it is important to know the volume of liquid that has been deposited in a given well and/or to monitor the...
متن کاملFocal extracellular potential: a means to monitor electrical activity in single cardiac myocytes.
The focal extracellular potential (FEP) described in this study is an electrophysiological signal related to the transmembrane potential (V(m)) of cardiac myocytes that avoids the mechanical fragility, interference with contraction, and intracellular contact associated with conventional whole cell recording. One end of a frog ventricular myocyte was secured into a glass holding pipette. The FEP...
متن کاملSlipChip for immunoassays in nanoliter volumes.
This article describes a SlipChip-based approach to perform bead-based heterogeneous immunoassays with multiple nanoliter-volume samples. As a potential device to analyze the output of the chemistrode, the performance of this platform was tested using low concentrations of biomolecules. Two strategies to perform the immunoassay in the SlipChip were tested: (1) a unidirectional slipping method t...
متن کاملIntegrated hollow microneedle-optofluidic biosensor for therapeutic drug monitoring in sub-nanoliter volumes
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) typically requires painful blood drawn from patients. We propose a painless and minimally-invasive alternative for TDM using hollow microneedles suitable to extract extremely small volumes (<1 nL) of interstitial fluid to measure drug concentrations. The inner lumen of a microneedle is functionalized to be used as a micro-reactor during sample collection to tra...
متن کاملSub-Nanoliter Spectroscopic Gas Sensor
In this work, a new type of optical fiber based chemical sensor, the sub-nanoliter sample cell (SNSC) based gas sensor, is described and compared to existing sensors designs in the literature. This novel SNSC gas sensor is shown to have the capability of gas detection with a cell volume in the sub-nanoliter range. Experimental results for various configurations of the sensor design are presente...
