Drop-Based Microfluidics for Biological Applications
Drop-based microfluidic technology has been attracting great attention since the prevalence of soft-lithography techniques in poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic device fabrication a decade ago. The miniaturized isolated confinement of the droplet provides an ideal environment to study single cell behaviors in vitro that might otherwise be buried in the ensemble measurements. The effectiv...
متن کاملDroplet microfluidics for high-throughput biological assays.
Droplet microfluidics offers significant advantages for performing high-throughput screens and sensitive assays. Droplets allow sample volumes to be significantly reduced, leading to concomitant reductions in cost. Manipulation and measurement at kilohertz speeds enable up to 10(8) samples to be screened in one day. Compartmentalization in droplets increases assay sensitivity by increasing the ...
متن کاملReframing the value of nature: biological value and institutional homeostasis
The importance of the economic valuation of nature is frequently propagated by arguing that more and better economic valuation will avoid the undervaluation and thereby the degradation of nature. In the approach considered 'economic', the assumptions on rationality, human interaction and the nature of the good remain unchanged although human-nature relationships need to change and biological an...

any sort of structural change perceptible to the eye or touch. She has been suffering from this complaint off and on for more than 3 years. Each attack lasts for about a week, and is followed in turn by a week of entire relief or intermission. The pain is not increased by pressure ; it always attacks the same part, and it never shifts its place. There is apparently nothing to suspect hysteria. ...
متن کاملAcoustically Driven Programmable Microfluidics for Biological and Chemical Applications
A novel approach toward the needs of a versatile chip-based microfluidic system with unique properties and functionality is reviewed. Like for microarrays and in contrast to many existing technologies, the fluid handling is performed on the flat surface of a programmable chip, where fluidic tracks and functional blocks such as valves, dispensers, mixers, and sensing elements are chemically defi...
