20120040370 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RAPIDLY CHANGING THE SOLUTION ENVIRONMENT AROUND SENSORS - The invention provides microfluidic systems for altering the solution environment around a nanoscopic or microscopic object, such as a sensor, and methods for using the same. The invention also provides a system and methods for modulating, controlling, preparing, and studying receptors. | 02-16-2012 |
20110183407 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TIP ALIGNMENT IN MULTIWELL PLATES - Apparatuses and methods of aligning at least one tip of a tip manifold with a plurality of wells of a multiwell plate. The tip manifold includes a plate, at least one tip depending from the plate, a first tip alignment pin depending from the plate, and a second tip alignment pin depending from the plate. The second tip alignment pin opposes the first tip alignment pin. The multiwell plate includes a body defining a plurality of non-porous wells for holding biological material, a first alignment hole, and a second alignment hole. The second alignment hole opposes the first alignment hole. | 07-28-2011 |
20100159439 | Method for combined sequential agent delivery and electroporation for cell structures and use thereof - Disclosed is a method for sequential delivery of agents to and/or into a cell structure, wherein an electrolyte-filled tube is provided together with a counter electrode, said tube is connected to a voltage or current generator, at least two agents are introduced in a discrete mode into the electrolyte solution contained in the tube, which is placed close to the cell structure, one agent at the time being transported through the tube to and/or into said cell structure in which a pore has been formed by application of an electric field focused on the cell structure, resulting in electroporation of the cell structure. Also different applications of the method is disclosed, e.g. us of the method in order to transfer cell-impermeant solutes, such as drugs or genes, into the cell structure or out of the cell structure. | 06-24-2010 |
20100143944 | Systems and methods for rapidly changing the solution environment around sensors - The invention provides microfluidic systems for altering the solution environment around a nanoscopic or microscopic object, such as a sensor, and methods for using the same. The invention can be applied in any sensor technology in which the sensing element needs to be exposed rapidly, sequentially, and controllably, to a large number of different solution environments whose characteristics may be known or unknown. | 06-10-2010 |
20090286297 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TIP ALIGNMENT IN MULTIWELL PLATES - Apparatuses and methods of aligning at least one tip of a tip manifold with a plurality of wells of a multiwell plate. The tip manifold includes a plate, at least one tip depending from the plate, a first tip alignment pin depending from the plate, and a second tip alignment pin depending from the plate. The second tip alignment pin opposes the first tip alignment pin. The multiwell plate includes a body defining a plurality of non-porous wells for holding biological material, a first alignment hole, and a second alignment hole. The second alignment hole opposes the first alignment hole. | 11-19-2009 |
20090092963 | Method for combined parallel agent delivery and electroporation for cell structures an use thereof - Disclosed is a method for parallel delivery of agents to and/or into a cell structure, wherein at least two electrolyte-filled tubes are provided together with a counter electrode, the tubes being connected to a voltage or current generator, said agents being introduced into the electrolyte solution contained in the tubes, which are placed close to the cell structure, whereupon the agents are transported through the tubes to said cell structure and into the said structure through pores which have been formed by application of an electric field focused on the cell structure, resulting in electroporation of the cell structure. Also different applications of the method is disclosed, e.g. use of the method in order to transfer cell-impermeant solutes, such as drugs or genes, into the cell structure or out of the cell structure. | 04-09-2009 |
20090047676 | System and method for obtaining and maintaining high-resistance seals in patch clamp recordings - The invention provides a system, system components, and a method for rapidly obtaining and stably maintaining a cell in optimal contact with the cell-contacting surface of a sensor in a cell-based biosensor. In one aspect, the system maximizes the seal between a whole cell and the cell-contact surface of a patch clamp micropipette, maximizing the efficiency of a whole cell patch clamp recording. | 02-19-2009 |
