    Abstract: A method for determining a biological response of a target (41, 42) to a soluble candidate substance comprises the steps: introducing a soluble candidate substance into a laminar flow of a buffer liquid (2) to form a candidate substance solute (3) having an initial concentration profile (31); dispersing the initial concentration profile (31) to form a dispersed concentration profile (32); directing the dispersed concentration profile (32) into a detection channel (12) to form a final symmetrical concentration profile (33) therein; introducing a target into the detection channel (12) to obtain a combined concentration profile comprising a constant target concentration profile overlying the final symmetrical concentration profile (33); holding in the detection channel (12) at least one half of the combined concentration profile; and optically scanning the combined concentration profile to detect an optical signal representative of the biological response of the target to the soluble candidate substance.

    Abstract: A repeatable method for detecting circulating tumor cells in vitro is provided. The method involves combining a test sample from a patient suspected of having circulating tumor cells, and a non-lytic adenoviral system, and culture media for the cells. The adenoviral system utilizes (i) a first replication-defective adenoviral particle in which an expression cassette is packaged, said expression cassette comprising an adenoviral 5' and 3' ITRs and a tumor-specific promoter; and (ii) a coding sequence for a Teporter protein which is expressed in the presence of circulating tumor cells, and an adenoviral 3' ITR. The test sample and the non-lytic adenoviral system are incubated for a sufficient time to permit expression of the reporter protein, and measuring reporter protein expression in the test samples, whereby presence of reporter expression indicates the presence of circulating tumor cells in the sample.

    Abstract: System, including methods and apparatus, for forming droplets of an emulsion. The system may include a channel junction at which a stream of sample fluid is divided into droplets by a dividing flow of carrier fluid. The system also may include one or more features configured to position sample fluid for reduced contact between the sample fluid and one or more surface regions of the channel junction, which may improve the consistency of droplet formation. In exemplary embodiments, sample fluid may be positioned by a step member produced by an increase in channel depth, and/or by directing flow of carrier fluid to form a barrier layer between sample fluid and a wall region, such as a ceiling region or floor region, of a channel network.
