    摘要: A method and apparatus for sorting particles moving through a closed channel system of capillary size comprises a bubble valve for selectively generating a pressure pulse to separate a particle having a predetermined characteristic from a stream of particles. The particle sorting system may further include a buffer for absorbing the pressure pulse. The particle sorting system may include a plurality of closely coupled sorting modules which are combined to further increase the sorting rate. The particle sorting system may comprise a multi-stage sorting device for serially sorting streams of particles, in order to decrease the error rate.

    摘要: A two-pin liquid handling system for crystallizing biomolecules comprises a pair of interacting pins for holding a droplet of liquid therebetween. Each pin includes a tip spaced predetermined distance from the other pin to define a sample acquisition region. The two-pin liquid handling system includes a temperature and humidity control element for controlling the temperature of the sample acquisition region to cause transpiration of water to and from a droplet of biomolecule solution to promote crystallization of the biomolecule.

    摘要: An optical system for acquiring fast spectra from spatially channel arrays includes a light source for producing a light beam that passes through the microfluidic chip or the channel to be monitored, one or more lenses or optical fibers for capturing the light from the light source after interaction with the particles or chemicals in the microfluidic channels, and one or more detectors. The detectors, which may include light amplifying elements, detect each light signal and transducer the light signal into an electronic signal. The electronic signals, each representing the intensity of an optical signal, pass from each detector to an electronic data acquisition system for analysis. The light amplifying element or elements may comprise an array of phototubes, a multianode phototube, or a multichannel plate based image intensifier coupled to an array of photodiode detectors.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of high throughput chemical analysis comprising the steps of combining one test compound with a solution comprising m enzyme(s) and n substrate(s), wherein m is an integer equal to one or greater, n is an integer equal to one or greater, and m+n≧3, incubating for a period of time said test compound within said solution, separating the chemical species in said combined solution by a chromatography step after said incubating step, and measuring the relative amounts of substrates and separately identifiable products produced therefrom by a chemical reaction catalyzed by said enzymes. The present SMSBEA assays are particularly well suited to enzyme-substrate systems in which both the substrate(s) and product(s) have mobilities such that they can be separated on short chromatography columns. The method of the invention is also particularly well suited to HTS applications in which an enzyme agonist or antagonist is sought. An advantage of the method is that the effects of a test compound on several enzymes may be analyzed simultaneously and without substantial purification of the enzyme solution, e.g., whole cell lysates.
