Malaria detection using inertial microfluidics.
Diagnosis of malaria at the early stage of infection is challenging due to the difficulty in detecting low abundance parasites from blood. Molecular methods such as real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) can be especially useful for detecting low parasitemia levels due to their high sensitivity and their ability to recognize different malarial species and strains. Unfortunately, the accurac...
متن کاملZebrafish as a model to study live mucus physiology
Dysfunctional mucus barriers can result in important pulmonary and gastrointestinal conditions, but model systems to study the underlying causes are largely missing. We identified and characterized five mucin homologues in zebrafish, and demonstrated a strategy for fluorescence labeling of one selected mucin. These tools can be used for in vivo experiments and in pharmacological and genetic scr...
متن کاملDigital microfluidics using soft lithography.
Although microfluidic chips have demonstrated basic functionality for single applications, performing varied and complex experiments on a single device is still technically challenging. While many groups have implemented control software to drive the pumps, valves, and electrodes used to manipulate fluids in microfluidic devices, a new level of programmability is needed for end users to orchest...
متن کاملChipping in to microfluidics
physics.ubs.ca Imagine stepping off the edge of a swimming pool, only to find that your foot deflects the surface of the water without breaking it, as if held by some impenetrable skin. As you walk forward, the water continues to support you; but if you take a running leap and bring your full weight down on the surface, then it snaps open to envelop you without a splash. Rather than plunging to...
متن کاملUsing Microfluidics to Decouple Nucleation and Growth of Protein Crystals.
A high throughput, low volume microfluidic device has been designed to decouple the physical processes of protein crystal nucleation and growth. This device, called the Phase Chip, is constructed out of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) elastomer. One of the Phase Chip's innovations is to exploit surface tension forces to guide each drop to a storage chamber. We demonstrate that nanoliter water-in-...
