Microfluidic Device for Combinatorial Chemistry
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 reduction in sample volumes. Successful devices will greatly reduce the cost of realizing biopharmaceuticals.

متن کاملA microfluidic device for array patterning by perpendicular electrokinetic focusing
This paper describes a microfluidic chip in which two perpendicular laminar-flow streams can be operated to sequentially address the surface of a flowchamber with semi-parallel sample streams. The sample streams can be controlled in position and width by the method of electrokinetic focusing. For this purpose, each of the two streams is sandwiched by two parallel sheath flow streams containing ...
