摘要:
A method is provided to prepare one or more microfluidic channels on a receptive material by applying an image-forming material to a heat sensitive thermoplastic receptive material in a designed pattern and heating the material under conditions that reduce the size of the thermoplastic receptive material by at least about 60%. In an alternative aspect, the microfluidic channels on receptive material are prepared by etching a designed pattern into a heat sensitive thermoplastic material support and then heating the material under conditions that reduce the size of the thermoplastic receptive material by at least about 60%.

Method and systems that provide improved cell handling and assays in microfluidic systems and devices particularly using lateral cell trapping and methods of fabrication of the same.
摘要:
Method and systems provide improved cell handling in microfluidic systems and devices using lateral cell trapping and methods of fabrication of the same that allow for selective low voltage electroporation and electrofusion.
摘要:
Apparatus and methods are provided for analysis of individual particles in a microfluidic device. The methods involve the immobilization of an array of particles in suspension and the application of experimental compounds. Such methods can also include electrophysiology studies including patch clamp recording, electroporation, or both in the same microfluidic device. The apparatus provided includes a microfluidic device coupled to a multi-well structure and an interface for controlling the flow of media within the microchannel device.
摘要:
A method is provided for preparing an aligned cell population comprising the culturing one or more cells on a surface having a texture, which texture has an average height of from about 100 nanometers to about 5 micrometers, thereby forming an aligned cell population on the textured surface. Also provided is a method to prepare the surface which method comprises the steps of: a) depositing a metal onto an unstressed or pre-stressed thermoplastic material; b) reducing the surface area of the receptive material by at least about 60%; and c) preparing the surface via lithography.
摘要:
Provided are methods of preparing a plurality of extrusions, comprising (a) shrinking a transparent first thermoplastic material comprising a plurality of non-transparent marks, (b) lithographically transferring the pattern of the shrunk non-transparent marks to a layer of photoresist deposited on a second thermoplastic material, and (c) shrinking the second thermoplastic material, thereby generating a plurality of extrusions on the shrunk second thermoplastic material.
摘要:
Provided are methods of preparing a sample for detection by placing the sample on a shrinkable scaffold and then shrinking the scaffold. An exemplary shrinkable scaffold is a thermoplastic substrate.
摘要:
This invention provides a microwell array having a plurality of microwells on a hydrophobic surface wherein the microwells each is substantially proximate to each of its adjacent microwells, as well as methods to prepare arrays. Also provided is a plate that comprises at least one microarray, at least one input channel, at least one output channel, and a channel connecting the input and output channel.
