摘要： A portable, miniaturized microfluidic droplet-based digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) device is provided. The device includes a droplet generation layer with a flow-focusing channel and multiple capillary channels, in which the flow-focusing channel has a flow focusing structure to generate droplets from a provided aqueous sample and extract oil, and the multiple capillary channels is configured to perform an oil extraction. An incubation layer includes heating plates, a microfluidic channel, and a container for conducting a PCR thermal cycling program. Controlled by a controller and powered by a power supplier, the PCR thermal cycling program involves maintaining predefined temperatures on each heating plate sequentially. This process ensures the heating of droplets to different temperatures at distinct times, facilitating precise and efficient PCR amplification.

摘要： Microfluidic gradient generators that can create robust platforms that can not only be used for creating co-cultures of cells with various ratios, but also can simultaneously generate gradients of mechanical and chemical stresses. A chip utilizes microchambers embedded within channels to provide space for 3D cell culture and exposes these cells to gradients of mechanical shear stress and a chemical treatment.

摘要： The present invention addresses the problem of providing a novel digital PCR analysis method. One embodiment of the novel digital PCR analysis method is a DNA detection method including the steps of: partitioning a DNA solution containing a fluorescent-labeled probe or a DNA intercalator and a target DNA to be detected into a plurality of compartments; carrying out a nucleic acid amplification reaction in the compartments; measuring a fluorescence intensity in association with a temperature change; calculating a melting temperature of a DNA double strand based on a change in the fluorescence intensity in association with the temperature change; and calculating a ratio of a fluorescence intensity at a second temperature that is lower than a first temperature in association with the temperature change to that at the first temperature.

摘要： Systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments of the invention are capable of rapid analysis and classification of cellular samples based on cytomorphological properties. In several embodiments, cells suspended in a fluid medium are passed through a microfluidic channel, where they are focused to a single stream line and imaged continuously. In a number of embodiments, the microfluidic channel establishes flow that enables individual cells to each be imaged at multiple angles in a short amount of time. A pattern recognition system can analyze the data captured from high-speed images of cells flowing through this system and classify target cells. In this way, the automated platform creates new possibilities for a wide range of research and clinical applications such as (but not limited to) point of care services.

摘要： Microfluidic apparatuses, systems, devices and associated fluid manipulation and extraction devices, and methods of using them are presented. The devices may be useful for analysis of clinical, laboratory, chemical, or biological samples. A fluid application and extraction interface device may include a waste reservoir with a fluid trap extending above a waste chamber, an opening through the waste reservoir above the sample inlet, and a transfer conduit extending through the waste reservoir so that fluid may pass from the transfer conduit into the waste reservoir and be trapped within the waste chamber.
