Abstract: Methods are provided for the automated detection, characterization, and selection of micro-objects in a microfluidic device. In addition, methods are provided for grouping detected micro-objects into subgroups that share the same characteristics and, optionally, repositioning micro-objects in a selected sub-population within the microfluidic device. For example, micro-objects in a selected sub-population can be moved into sequestration pens. The methods also provide for visual displays of the micro-object characteristics, such as two- or three-dimensional graphs, and for user-based definition and/or selection of sub-populations of the detected micro-objects. In addition, non-transitory computer-readable medium in which a program is stored and systems for carrying out any of the disclosed methods are provided.

Abstract: Methods are provided for the assay of secreted biomolecules using automated detection and characterization of micro-objects in a microfluidic device. The biomolecules can be secreted by cells, particularly immunological cells, such as T cells. The biomolecules being assayed can include cytokines, growth factors, and the like. Methods are also provided for assaying the cytotoxicity of a cell with respect to another, target cell. Also provided are kits and non-transitory computer-readable media in which programs are stored for causing a system comprising a computer to perform automated methods for detecting secreted biomolecules and/or cytotoxicity in a microfluidic device.

Abstract: Methods, systems and kits are described herein for detecting the results of an assay. In particular, the methods, systems and devices of the present disclosure rely on a difference between the diffusion rates of a reporter molecule and an analyte of interest in order to quantify an amount of analyte in a microfluidic device. The analyte may be a secreted product of a biological micro-object.
