Single-Cell Chemical Lysis on Microfluidic Chips with Arrays of Microwells
Many conventional biochemical assays are performed using populations of cells to determine their quantitative biomolecular profiles. However, population averages do not reflect actual physiological processes in individual cells, which occur either on short time scales or nonsynchronously. Therefore, accurate analysis at the single-cell level has become a highly attractive tool for investigating...
متن کاملSingle-Cell Electric Lysis on an Electroosmotic-Driven Microfluidic Chip with Arrays of Microwells
Accurate analysis at the single-cell level has become a highly attractive tool for investigating cellular content. An electroosmotic-driven microfluidic chip with arrays of 30-μm-diameter microwells was developed for single-cell electric lysis in the present study. The cellular occupancy in the microwells when the applied voltage was 5 V (82.4%) was slightly higher than that at an applied volta...
متن کاملCell docking inside microwells within reversibly sealed microfluidic channels for fabricating multiphenotype cell arrays.
We present a soft lithographic method to fabricate multiphenotype cell arrays by capturing cells within an array of reversibly sealed microfluidic channels. The technique uses reversible sealing of elastomeric polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) molds on surfaces to sequentially deliver various fluids or cells onto specific locations on a substrate. Microwells on the substrate were used to capture and ...
متن کاملSingle-cell chemical lysis method for analyses of intracellular molecules using an array of picoliter-scale microwells.
Analyzing the intracellular contents and enzymatic activities of single cells is important for studying the physiological and pathological activities at the cellular level. For this purpose, we developed a simple single-cell lysis method by using a dense array of microwells of 10-30-pL volume fabricated by poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and a commercially available cell lysis reagent. To demonst...
متن کاملParallel Single Cell Analysis on an In- Tegrated Microfluidic Platform for Cell Trapping, Lysis and Analysis
We report here a novel and easily scalable microfluidic platform for the parallel analysis of hundreds of individual cells, with controlled single cell trapping, followed by their lysis and subsequent retrieval of the cellular content for on-chip analysis. The device consists of a main channel and an array of shallow side channels connected to the main channel via trapping structures. Cells are...
