摘要:
The invention may provide a microfluidic mixer having a droplet generator and a droplet mixer in selective fluid connection with the droplet generator. The droplet generator comprises first and second fluid chambers that are structured to be filled with respective first and second fluids that can each be held in isolation for a selectable period of time. The first and second fluid chambers are further structured to be reconfigured into a single combined chamber to allow the first and second fluids in the first and second fluid chambers to come into fluid contact with each other in the combined chamber for a selectable period of time prior to being brought into the droplet mixer.

This invention relates, e.g., to a molecular delivery system comprising A. a substrate having a nanostructured surface region which comprises a plurality of nanostructures and, covalently attached to the substrate, multiple copies of a first member of a binding pair; and B. at least one vector nanoparticle which comprises, encapsulated therein, a molecule of interest, and on its surface, multiple copies of second member of the binding pair. Methods of using the molecular delivery system to deliver a molecule of interest to a cell are also described.

A microfluidic system has a pipette system comprising a plurality of pipettes, a microfluidic chip arranged proximate the pipette system, an imaging optical detection system arranged proximate the microfluidic chip, and an image processing system in communication with the imaging optical detection system. The microfluidic chip has a plurality of cell culture chambers defined by a body of the microfluidic chip, each cell culture chamber being in fluid connection with an input channel and an output channel defined by the microfluidic chip. The pipette system is constructed and arranged to at least one of inject fluid through the plurality of pipettes into the plurality of input channels or extract fluid through the plurality of pipettes from the plurality of output channels while the microfluidic system is in operation.
