One of the most promising applications of microfluidics technology has been proven to be the single-cell analysis. Hardly a week goes by without a new microfluidic development for microfluidic single-cell analysis. Over the nearly past decade, the field has accelerated at a high rate and...
Stand-alone microfluidic devices have been shown great promises over the past few decades in simplifying biological as well as chemical assays. However, in many applications, the processes cannot be reduced into a single task and require multiple tasks to be conducted sequentially. In this week's...
"Cytotoxicity is a vital effector mechanism used by immune cells to combat pathogens and cancer cells. While conventional cytotoxicity assays rely on averaged end-point measures, crucial insights on the dynamics and heterogeneity of effector and target cell interactions cannot be extracted, emphasizing the need for...
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...
