In a recently published paper in the Lab on a chip journal, a research team from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) reported a microfluidic biomarker barcoding device for multiplexed immunohistochemistry for high-throughput analysis of a tissue microarray. “We present a multiplexed microfluidic immunohistochemistry...
When it comes to single-cell analysis, microfluidics is one of the major candidates. A recent microfluidic device is expanding the microfluidic single-cell analysis toolbox. As seen in the Analytical Chemistry journal, the microfluidic chip took advantage of acoustically excited structures along with oscillating microbubbles for...
Red blood cell (RBC) disorders affect these oxygen-carrying cells and can cause severe damage to the body. Rare hereditary hemolytic anemia (RHHA) is one of these disorders and is associated with the premature removal of defective cells from the spleen. A novel microfluidic advancement can...
Droplet-based microfluidics is one of the most promising areas of microfluidics that is now quite established for a wide range of applications such as microfluidic single-cell analysis, directed evolution, microparticle synthesis, etc. Double emulsions (DEs) have enhanced the droplet microfluidic toolbox by allowing single emulsions...
How does a tiny sperm find its way through the female reproductive tract which is highly complex? The fallopian tube is covered with a labyrinthine epithelium layer that plays an important role in the natural selection of the sperm. How does all that curvature affect...
