Microfluidic Device for Combinatorial Chemistry
This work presents a microfluidic device that has the unique capability of automating combinatorial processes such as protein refolding and bioconjugate synthesis. Conventionally, these processes are done by hand-pipetting or using robotic systems. The microfluidic approach offers the advantages of automation, cost-effectiveness, compatibility with optical detection, and a million-fold reductio...
متن کاملQuantitative Cns Axon Growth Analysis for Drug Screening in a Microfluidic Neuron Culture Platform
We present a microfluidic neuron culture platform capable of isolating/guiding CNS axons from neuronal somata for localized manipulation and quantitative analysis of axonal growth. Localized treatment of five extracellular matrices to somata or axons for investigating their effects on axon growth was demonstrated. Quantitative analysis of axon growths in response to different treatment could be...
متن کاملMagnetostatic Modeling for Microfluidic Device Design
For several years, biologists have used superparamagnetic beads to facilitate biological separations. More recently, researchers have adopted this approach in microfluidic devices [1-3]. This recent development and use of superparamagnetic particles in biomedical and biological applications have resulted in a necessity for methods that enable the understanding and prediction of their properties...
متن کاملA Microfluidic Device for Opto-Electrochemical Sensing
A microfluidic device that contains a silica film as optical transducer and electrochemical electrode was used to monitor how ferricyanide ion behaves within nanoporous matrix. This prototype device allows UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry to be performed at the same time. Significant reducing in leaching of redox molecules proved this device integrated with silica film can ...
متن کاملMagnetophoretic-based microfluidic device for DNA Concentration.
Nucleic acids serve as biomarkers of disease and it is highly desirable to develop approaches to extract small number of such genomic extracts from human bodily fluids. Magnetic particles-based nucleic acid extraction is widely used for concentration of small amount of samples and is followed by DNA amplification in specific assays. However, approaches to integrate such magnetic particles based...
