| 20080281090 | Microfluidic Chemical Reaction Circuits - New microfluidic devices, useful for carrying out chemical reactions, are provided. The devices are adapted for on-chip solvent exchange, chemical processes requiring multiple chemical reactions, and rapid concentration of reagents. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090302228 | DEVICE FOR QUANTIFICATION OF RADIOISOTOPE CONCENTRATIONS IN A MICRO-FLUIDIC PLATFORM - A micro-fluidic device has a micro-fluidic circuit layer and a charged-particle detection layer disposed proximate the micro-fluidic circuit layer. The micro-fluidic device is constructed to provide a two-dimensional image of charged-particle emissions from a sample within the micro-fluidic circuit layer while in operation. A method of quantification of radioactivity in a biological sample includes directing a fluid containing the biological material into a microfluidic device, detecting charged particles emitted from the biological material with a two-dimensional imaging sensor, and forming a two-dimensional image over time corresponding to radioactivity of the biological sample. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100291584 | MICROFLUIDIC IMAGING CYTOMETRY - A microfluidic system has a pipette system comprising a plurality of pipettes, a microfluidic chip arranged proximate the pipette system, an imaging optical detection system arranged proximate the microfluidic chip, and an image processing system in communication with the imaging optical detection system. The microfluidic chip has a plurality of cell culture chambers defined by a body of the microfluidic chip, each cell culture chamber being in fluid connection with an input channel and an output channel defined by the microfluidic chip. The pipette system is constructed and arranged to at least one of inject fluid through the plurality of pipettes into the plurality of input channels or extract fluid through the plurality of pipettes from the plurality of output channels while the microfluidic system is in operation. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20110098597 | MICROFLUIDIC SAMPLERS AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING THEM - This invention provides microfluidic samplers for withdrawing one or more precise micro- or nano-liter volumes of a sample. The invention provides microfabricated automatic systems comprising integrated poly(dimethyl-siloxane) (PDMS) micro fluidics. The sample can be biological samples, including samples from animals or plants. The samples can be fluid or gas. The samples can comprise a biological fluid, such as blood, tears, cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and the like, from a test subject such as a human or a mouse. The invention also provides methods for making and using the microfluidic samplers of the invention. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110103176 | ACCURATE AND RAPID MICROMIXER FOR INTEGRATED MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES - The invention may provide a microfluidic mixer having a droplet generator and a droplet mixer in selective fluid connection with the droplet generator. The droplet generator comprises first and second fluid chambers that are structured to be filled with respective first and second fluids that can each be held in isolation for a selectable period of time. The first and second fluid chambers are further structured to be reconfigured into a single combined chamber to allow the first and second fluids in the first and second fluid chambers to come into fluid contact with each other in the combined chamber for a selectable period of time prior to being brought into the droplet mixer. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110129850 | MICROFLUIDIC PLATFORM FOR CELL CULTURE AND ASSAY - A microfluidic chip for at least one of cell culturing and cell assay has a cell culture chamber defined by the microfluidic chip, a first microchannel defined by the microfluidic chip and constructed to provide a fluid path to said cell culture chamber, the microchannel having a pneumatic valve formed therein to permit selective opening and closing of a fluid path to said cell culture chamber, and a second microchannel defined by the microfluidic chip and constructed to provide a fluid path from the cell culture chamber. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110136252 | Integrated Microfluidics for Parallel Screening of Chemical Reactions - A microfluidic device allows for different reactions to be conducted in parallel with the use of nanoliter quantities of reagents. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110305685 | SUPRAMOLECULAR APPROACH FOR PREPARATION OF SIZE CONTROLLABLE NANOPARTICLES - A supramolecular approach has been developed for preparation of size-controllable nanoparticles, from three different molecular building blocks. | 12-15-2011 |
