Abstract: A bridge comprises a first inlet port, a second inlet port, an outlet port, and a chamber for silicone oil. The oil is density-matched with the reactor droplets such that a neutrally buoyant environment is created within the chamber. The oil within the chamber is continuously replenished by the oil separating the reactor droplets. This causes the droplets to assume a stable capillary-suspended spherical form upon entering the chamber. The spherical shape grows until large enough to span the gap between the ports, forming an axisymmetric liquid bridge. The introduction of a second droplet from the second inlet port causes the formation of an unstable funicular bridge that quickly ruptures from the, finer, second inlet port, and the droplets combine at the liquid bridge. In another embodiment, a droplet segments into smaller droplets which bridge the gap between the inlet and outlet ports.
Abstract translation: 桥梁包括第一入口端口,第二入口端口,出口端口和用于硅油的室。 油与反应器液滴密度匹配,使得在室内产生中性浮力的环境。 室内的油通过分离反应器液滴的油不断补充。 这使得液滴在进入室时呈现稳定的毛细管悬浮球形。 球形增长直到足够大以跨越端口之间的间隙,形成轴对称液桥。 从第二入口引入第二液滴导致不稳定的索道桥的形成,其从较细的第二入口快速破裂,并且液滴在液桥处结合。 在另一个实施例中,液滴分段成较小的液滴,桥接入口和出口之间的间隙。

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods and systems for assaying biological samples which include analyzing cellular components of biological samples. An example method of the disclosure may comprise generating aqueous droplets wrapped in a carrier fluid which is immiscible with the aqueous droplets. The aqueous droplets may comprise a cell from a biological sample, a microcarrier, and/or a lysing agent. The method may further comprise using the lysing agent to lyse the cell to release intracellular components comprising nucleic acid from the cell and dispensing the microcarrier and the nucleic acid released from the lysing to a vessel. The released nucleic acid may then be subjected to an assay which may comprise a nucleic acid amplification reaction.

Abstract: Measurement of gene expression relative to an endogenous control gene is prone to excessive variability between samples and even replicates. The disclosure provides methods for normalizing expression levels of a gene by scaling gene expression levels to that of the most highly expressed gene in the set of genes whose expression levels are measured, rather than a house-keeping gene.
Abstract translation: 相对于内源性对照基因的基因表达的测量在样品之间容易发生过度的变异,甚至复制。 本公开提供了通过将基因表达水平与表达水平测定的基因组中最高表达基因的基因表达水平相比较而不是保存基因来使基因表达水平正常化的方法。
