    Abstract: Systems and methods for altering neurite growth are generally described. In some embodiments, a system may include a neuron comprising a neurite and electrodes able to generate a physical guidance cue. The physical guidance cue may be used to alter the growth of the neurite and may be temporally and spatially dynamic, such that neurite growth may be altered in a spatial and/or temporal manner. Dynamic control of neurite growth may be used to form directional neural connections, intersections, and/or overlaps. The system combrises a chamber capable of housing a living cell and promoting cell growth; a channel, wherein the channel is connected to the chamber, wherein the channel has a height and/or width of less than or equal to about 20 microns; and at least one electrode pair intersecting the channel with a center to center spacing of the electrodes of less than or equal to about 200 microns, and wherein the plurality of electrode pairs intersects the channel.

    Abstract: Microfluidic chips containing electrochemical biosensors are described. The electrochemical biosensors include a flow layer intersected by valves of a control layer, which control the fluid flow. The flow layer includes two zones, an analyte capture zone for mixing a sample with an analyte capture element, and a detection zone for detecting the analyte. Both zones include a rotary mixer for mixing, and where needed, trapping, washing, and flowing the captured analyte. The captured analyte is detected by the sensing region of the detection zone. The microfluidic chips may be integrated into devices for automated, fast, point-of-care determination of analyte concentration.

    Abstract: A method of tracking cell identity across analytical platforms uses stochastic barcoding (SB). SB uses a randomly generated code based on one or more of the number, color and position of beads encapsulated together with a set of cells of interest. SB use is demonstrated in an application where cells are transferred from a microwell array into a microtitre plate while keeping their identity, and obtained an average identification accuracy of 96% for transfer of 100 blocks. Model scaling of the method up to 1000 blocks demonstrated that SB is able to achieve approximately 90% accuracy.
