摘要:
Gas focusing flow cytometers are fabricatable employing simple and inexpensive manufacturing techniques. When such cytometers or conventional cytometers are combined with fiber optical light paths and laser diode and semiconductor photodetectors, light weight and handheld, optionally disposable devices which maintain high performance are possible.

摘要:
A two-dimensional gas chromatography system having first and second separation columns, a thermal modulator disposed between the first and second columns and having a plurality of stage channels, and a micro heater monolithically integrated in the thermal modulator. The thermal modulator is operable to trap and focus gas/vapor species within the plurality of stage channels upon cooling and release the gas/vapor species to the second column upon heating by the micro heater.
摘要:
An optical device is described that may be used as a microscope system for real-time, three-dimensional optical imaging. The device includes a miniature, fiber optic, intra-vital probe microscope that uses a dual-axes confocal architecture to allow for vertical scanning perpendicular to a surface of the sample (e.g., a tissue surface). The optical device can use off-axis illumination and collection of light to achieve sub-cellular resolution with deep tissue penetration. The optical device may be used as part of an integrated molecular imaging strategy using fluorescence-labeled peptides to detect cell surface targets that are up-regulated by the epithelium and/or endothelium of colon and breast tumors in small animal models of cancer.
摘要:
A protein patterning electrode device consisting of capacitor microelectrode arrays coated with a protein non-adherent layer is provided. Operation of the electrode is based on a phenomenon called “electrowetting,” where surface wettability can dynamically be controlled by varying the voltage across the device electrodes. When an electric field is applied across the electrode layers, the surface accumulates charge and becomes hydrophilic, binding the proteins to the surface via ionic bonding. Electrically controlling the amount of the surface charge permits controlled protein surface affinity. The device provides a means for reconfigurable protein patterning.
