We introduce a droplet-digital microfluidic recovery system to collect single cells from pooled culture and transfer these droplets into a well-plate. The platform is shown for the recovery of single beads and rare antibody secreting cells. ...

Applications such as optical clocks, gas spectroscopy, and optical coherent tomography stand to benefit significantly from the integration of on-chip supercontinuum sources. Materials exhibiting both second- and third-order nonlinearities are particularly ...

The invention provides microfluidic screening systems for the identification of compounds or compositions influencing cellular transcriptomes. The invention is predicated upon taking into account differences in newly synthesized mRNA in contrast to so call ...

In the age of smart systems, artificial intelligence, and personalized devices, the need for effective methods to facilitate multifunctionality integration has become a necessity. One of the fields that boosts the efforts of multifunctionality integration ...

Microfluidic models are proving to be powerful systems to study fundamental processes in porous media, due to their ability to replicate topologically complex environments while allowing detailed, quantitative observations at the pore scale. Yet, while por ...

In droplet microfluidic devices with suction-based flow control, the microchannel geometry and suction pressure at the outlet govern the dynamic properties of the two phases that influence the droplet generation. Therefore, it is critical to understand the ...

Microorganisms, encompassing both uni- and multicellular entities, exhibit remarkable diversity as omnipresent life forms in nature. They play a pivotal role by supplying essential components for sustaining biological processes across diverse ecosystems, i ...

In concentrated macromolecular dispersions, far-from-ideal intermolecular interactions determine the dispersion behaviors including phase transition, crystallization, and liquid-liquid phase separation. Here, we present a novel versatile capillary-cell des ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been the most significant driver in the field of nucleic acid testing (NAT) since its invention. Popularized as an abbreviation by the Covid-19 pandemic, PCR-based methods are the gold standard in the field of diagnostic ...

This paper proposes and experimentally validates a distributed temperature alarm system based on carbon dioxide (CO2)-filled 18 m side air-holes fiber (SAHF), interrogated through a conventional (incoherent) optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR). Custom ...

We study the presence within the worm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) of a fluorescent strain of the worm's bacterial food (Escherichia coli (E. coli) OP50) during early adulthood. Use of a microfluidic chip based on a thin glass coverslip substrate al ...

Recent studies investigated the hydrolysis of Magnesium (Mg) thin films, highlighting their potential use in biodegradable devices. Quantitatively monitoring the degradation rate and morphological changes of Mg through optical methods and light-delivery de ...

The invention relates to a microfluidic device (3) comprising: - an inlet channel (31) having an inlet configured to be operatively connected with a droplet source (2) wherein the inlet channel (31) has a width wi and height hi; and - an outlet channel wit ...

Droplet microfluidics has revolutionized quantitative high-throughput bioassays and screening, especially in the field of single-cell analysis where applications include cell characterization, antibody discovery and directed evolution. However, droplet mic ...

A variety of biosensors have been proposed to quickly detect and measure the properties of individual microorganisms among heterogeneous populations, but challenges related to cost, portability, stability, sensitivity, and power consumption limit their app ...

Magnetic nanorods driven by rotating fields in water can be rapidly steered along any direction while generating strong and localized hydrodynamic flow fields. Here we show that, when raising the frequency of the rotating field, these nanopropellers underg ...

Disclosed herein is a method of operating a microfluidic system, a microfluidic system for manipulating sample objects, and a control system for operating a microfluidic system. The method according to the invention is for operating a microfluidic system t ...

Multicellular organisms require very well organized and finely balanced cell-cell communication, adhesion and coordination to ensure the organisms homeostasis. These functions rely on specialized receptors placed at the cells membrane whose binding to thei ...

The single-cell study, which dissects cell-cell heterogeneity from bulk populations, is of growing attention and importance in biological studies and clinical practices. At the core of the single-cell analysis is the efficient cell isolation and constructi ...

Regular arrays of colloidal particles can produce striking structural colors without the need for any chemical pigments. Regular arrays of colloidal particles can be processed into microparticles via emulsion templates for use as structural colorants. Phot ...
