Development of super-dense transfected cell microarrays generated by piezoelectric inkjet printing.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Super-dense transfected cell microarrays (TCMs) were created by a piezoelectric inkjet printer on a glass substrate that had been grafted with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The micro-spots that contained plasmid and extra-cellular matrix (ECM) protein were separated from one another by a hydrophilic barrier generated by PEG. We successfully constructed the densest TCMs with spots of 50 μm in diameter and 150 μm in pitch.

Piezoelectric Inkjet-based Single-cells Printing by Image Processing for High Efficiency and Automatic Cell Printing
Research in cell printing by piezoelectric inkjet printer has been conducted, however, relatively reliable single-cells printing yield had not been obtained. We proposed a different approach to increase the yield in single-cells printing by utilizing piezoelectric driving method not used in recent inkjet printer devices, push-pull method. Furthermore, cell recognition system constructed by imag...
متن کاملDroplet-in-oil array for picoliter-scale analysis based on sequential inkjet printing.
In recent years, inkjet printing, as a new method to fabricate microdroplet microarrays, has been increasingly applied in the field of biochemical diagnostics. To further improve the general applicability of the inkjet printing technology in fabricating biochemical chips, in this work, we introduce a model to describe the multiple injection procedure implemented by the inkjet printing approach,...

Since the last decade, there is a growing need for patterned biomolecules for various applications ranging from diagnostic devices to enabling fundamental biological studies with high throughput. Protein arrays facilitate the study of protein–protein, protein–drug or protein–DNA interactions as well as highly multiplexed immunosensors based on antibody–antigen recognition. Protein microarrays a...
متن کاملAdult rat retinal ganglion cells and glia can be printed by piezoelectric inkjet printing.
We have investigated whether inkjet printing technology can be extended to print cells of the adult rat central nervous system (CNS), retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and glia, and the effects on survival and growth of these cells in culture, which is an important step in the development of tissue grafts for regenerative medicine, and may aid in the cure of blindness. We observed that RGC and glia ...
