    Abstract: In an example implementation, a microfluidic device includes a first layer with a first microfluidic channel and a second layer with a second microfluidic channel. The first and second channels are adjacent to one another at a channel intersection, and a conductive membrane valve extends across and covers the channel intersection to separate the first and second channels. The microfluidic device includes a conductive trace to open the membrane valve and join the first and second channels by supplying an electric current to heat and melt a thinned region of the membrane valve.

    Abstract: An apparatus of an enzymatic sample purifier can include a reaction chamber containing a polypeptide synthesizing enzyme capable of reacting with a protein degradation product to form polypeptides having a size of at least 1,000 Da and including the protein degradation product, the reaction chamber having a port configured to receive a fluid sample including a target analyte having a size of no greater than 500 Da and the protein degradation product. The apparatus can also include a product chamber, an electrophoretic transport mechanism to move a purified portion of the fluid sample including the target analyte to the product chamber, and a separator positioned to retain the formed polypeptides resulting from reaction of the protein degradation product with the polypeptide synthesizing enzyme in the reaction chamber and to pass the target analyte to the product chamber, wherein the separator comprises a porous matrix.

    Abstract: A fluid entrained particle separation system may include a particle separator, a main fluid passage extending along an axis to guide translational fluid flow along the axis to the particle separator and a side fluid inlet connected to the main fluid passage to generate a vortex about the axis. The vortex concentrates less dense material in the fluid flow towards the axis.

    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to single cell transfection with interchangeable reagent. The present disclosure relates generally to a device, method, and system for single cell transfection including a transfection chamber on a transfection chip. The example system may include a fluidic channel located on the transfection chip for guiding a cell towards the transfection chamber, the fluidic channel sized to allow no more than a single cell to arrive at the transfection chamber at a time. The example system may also include a reagent receiver located on the transfection chip guiding received reagent towards the transfection chamber and intersecting with the path of the fluidic channel.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a microfluidic concentrating particlizers including a particle generator, a particle concentrator, and a fluid movement network. The particle generator includes a sample inlet microchannel and a reagent inlet microchannel. The sample inlet microchannel is operable to direct a source sample. The reagent inlet microchannel is operable to direct reagent. The source sample and reagent come in contact to form a sample fluid dispersion including sample-modified particulates and fluid. The particle concentrator includes a filtering chamber fluidly coupled to the particle generator to concentrate sample-modified particulates relative to the fluid. The fluid movement network includes multiple pumps to generate fluidic flow through both the particle generator and the particle concentrator.
