"Current equipment and methods for preparation of radiopharmaceuticals for positron emission tomography (PET) are expensive and best suited for large-scale multi-doses batches. Microfluidic radiosynthesizers have been shown to provide an economic approach to synthesize these compounds in smaller quantities, but can also be scaled to...
One of the major successes of microfluidic chips hinges upon cell washing and cell sorting. Various active and passive techniques such as inertial microfluidics, spiral microfluidics, magentophoresis, electrophoresis, acoustophoresis, etc. have been developed for this purpose. In this week's research highlight, we will introduce a...
Neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) are the synaptic junctions between motor neurons (MNs) and muscle fibres and are of crucial importance in delivering signals associated with motor activities. Therefore, defects in the motor neurons or disruption in the activity of NMJs can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such...
TORONTO (PRWEB) October 05, 2021 —Microfluidics technology is a vital component of diagnostic testing and microfluidics manufacturer, uFluidix, is at the forefront of the industry. Following a major expansion in 2020 which saw the company double manufacturing capacity, uFluidix marks 2021 with continued growth and...
"Low-temperature biopreservation and 3D tissue engineering present two different routes towards eventual on-demand access to transplantable biologics, but recent advances in both fields present critical new opportunities for crossover between them. With help of microfluidics, in this work, we demonstrate sub-zero centigrade preservation and revival...
