Fabrication of a microfluidic enzyme reactor utilizing magnetic beads.
An enzyme-catalyzed microfluidic assay using magnetic micro-beads is described. Here, diaphorase (DI) (E.C. 1.6.99) is covalently attached to the magnetic micro-beads (2.7 mum) and integrated into a short section of a microchip fabricated from PDMS. DI converts non-fluorescent resazurin to fluorescent resorufin in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADH). In this work,...
متن کاملEncapsulating Beads/cells in Uniform-sized Droplets on a Microfluidic Chip Utilizing Hydrophilic Modification of a Surface
ABSTRACT In this study we present a simple method to encapsulate beads or cells in the droplets on the microfluidic chip. The proposed chip integrates surface modification technique and pneumatic components, the droplets are formed directly without cross contamination of the carrier buffer. Therefore, the superfluous sample is recycled, which significantly reduces the sample consumption. Moreov...
متن کاملPhoton-correlation spectroscopy for small spherical inclusions in a micrometer-sized electrodynamically levitated droplet.
Micrometer-sized droplets of saturated sodium chloride solution were captured in an electrodynamic levitator and maintained at constant diameter for several days at a time. Both pure droplets and droplets containing 0.5-microm subparticles (guests) were studied by means of 90-deg scattering of polarized laser light. Analysis of the correlation function for the intensity of the scattered light g...
متن کاملTowards a Laser-Integrated Module for Marker-Free Sorting of Micrometer-Sized Particles in Microfluidic Channels
In recent years, microfluidic devices have become important tools for cell analysis in biology and medicine. They enable fast and inexpensive analysis with reduced consumption of analytes. However, for optical detection involving FACS (fluorescence-activated cell sorting), sample preparation by attaching an antibody-labeled fluorochrome to the cell is required. Cell tagging by fluorochromes is ...
متن کاملMicrometer- and Nanometer-Sized Organic Single Crystalline Transistors
Single crystal devices of organic semiconductors have attracted worldwide attention due to (i) the high performance of organic single crystalline devices and (ii) the possibility of single crystals to reveal the intrinsic chargetransport properties of organic semiconductors. Normally, organic crystals exist as nanometeror micrometer-sized ‘‘small’’ crystals because of the weak interaction betwe...
