摘要:
A device is described having a first surface having a plurality of first areas and a second surface having a plurality of second areas. The first surface and the second surface are opposed to one another and can move relative to each other from at least a first position where none of the plurality of first areas, having a first substance, are exposed to plurality of second areas, having a second substance, to a second position. When in the second position, the plurality of first and second areas, and therefore the first and second substances, are exposed to one another. The device may further include a series of ducts in communication with a plurality of first second areas to allow for a substance to be disposed in, or upon, the plurality of second areas when in the first position.
摘要:
A microfluidic system with a plurality of sequential T-junctions for performing reactions in a plurality of droplets (plugs) of micro- to femtoliter volumes is disclosed. The microfluidic system is configured such that the plurality of plugs are flowing through a loading component, with the loading component splitting the plurality of plugs at each of the plurality of downstream T-junctions and each inlet of the plurality of detachable holding components is configured to be operably coupled with at least one of outlets of the plurality of downstream T-junctions so that the holding components received a plurality of split plugs in the immiscible carrier fluid from the loading component.
摘要:
Provided herein are methods, compositions, and devices for the parallel handling of samples, such as cells or other biological samples. The methods, compositions, and devices are suited for multiple levels of analysis, including genetic and functional assays, of samples.
摘要:
The present invention provides microfabricated substrates and methods of conducting reactions within these substrates. The reactions occur in plugs transported in the flow of a carrier-fluid.
