Introducton Low cost,miniaturization and simplification are required for chemical analysis system,such as environmental monitoring.In addition,low power consumption,multi functionality and wireless co
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have become an emerging "biomarker" for monitoring cancer metastasis and prognosis.Although there are existing technologies available for isolating/counting CTCs,the mos
Peptides not only compose proteins but also are extremely important endogenous compounds playing important roles in living systems.Benefiting from the revolutionary concept of ‘‘lab on a chip,the synt
Quantum dots (QDs) emerging as a new kind of nanomaterial have shown outstanding fluorescent properties and the potential for replacement of organic dyes using in biological imaging[1].However,cytotox
This paper is concerned with the motion of water-droplet on rotating disk.It is found that the contact angle hysteresis [1] plays the essential role to deviate the droplet against the Coriolis force d
Microcapillary-based BioMEMS systems have recently gained increasing attention with special interest in precisely positioning and electrically analyzing single cells [1-3].Existing fabrication schemes
In this study,a stable and fast method for culturing mouse neural stem/progenitor cells (mNS/PCs) in three-dimensional (3D) type I collagen gels,based on microfluidics,is described.First,the collagen-
We have developed an originally designed microfluidic device for single cell isolation [1].For the detection of expressed gene in isolated cells on the device,hot cell-direct RT-PCR method was invente
For protable devices,fuel cells have been a competitive candidate as a microscale power source and methanol is a suitable liquid fuel for producing hydrogen because of its high production capacity and
Raman-activated cell sorting (RACS) offers prospects to complement the widely applied fluorescence-activated cell sorting.RACS enables the separation of cells according to their intrinsic chemical ‘fi
