    摘要: Microfluidic apparatus including integrated porous substrate/sensors that may be used for detecting targeted biological and chemical molecules and compounds. In one aspect, upper and lower microfluidic channels are defined in respective halves of a substrate, which are sandwiched around a porous membrane upon assembly. In another aspect, the upper and lower channels are formed such that a portion of the lower channel passes beneath a portion of the upper channel to form a cross-channel area, wherein the membrane is disposed between the two channels. In various embodiments, one or more porous membranes are disposed proximate to corresponding cross-channel areas defined by one or more upper and lower channels. The porous membrane may also have sensing characteristics, such that it produces a change in an optical and/or electronic characteristic. Accordingly, the apparatus may further include instrumentation or detection equipment to measure the changes, such as optic-based detectors and electronic instrumentation.

    摘要: Microfluidic devices with porous membranes for molecular sieving, metering, and separation of analyte fluids. In one aspect, a microfluidic device includes a substrate having input and output microfluidic channel sections separated by a porous membrane formed integral to the substrate. In another aspect, the porous membrane may comprise a thin membrane that is sandwiched between upper and lower substrate members. The microfluidic device may include one or a plurality of porous membranes. In one embodiment, a plurality of porous membranes having increasingly smaller pores are disposed along portions of a microfluidic channel. In another embodiment, a cascading series of upper and lower channels are employed, wherein each upper/lower channel interface is separated by a respective porous membrane. In another aspect, a porous membrane is rotatably coupled to a substrate within a microfluidic channel via a MEMS actuator to enable the porous membrane to be positioned in filtering and pass-through positions.

    摘要: The methods and apparatus disclosed herein concern nucleic acid sequencing by enhanced Raman spectroscopy. In certain embodiments of the invention, nucleotides are covalently attached to Raman labels before incorporation into a nucleic acid 13. Exonuclease 15 treatment of the labeled nucleic acid 13 results in the release of labeled nucleotides 16, 130, which are detected by Raman spectroscopy. In alternative embodiments of the invention, nucleotides 16, 130 released from a nucleic acid 13 by exonuclease 15 treatment are covalently cross-linked to silver or gold nanoparticles 140 and detected by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), surface enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERFS) and/or coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS). Other embodiments of the invention concern apparatus 10, 100, 210 for nucleic acid sequencing.
