Subsequently, these library fragments can be amplified in situ by hybridization and extension from complementary adapters which are covalently attached to the surface of a glass microfluidic cell or a small bead (depending on the sequencing platform). All NGS instruments utilize a microfluidic device to contain the amplified fragments of the ...
Fabrication and assembly of the microfluidic device The moulds for microfluidic devices were fabricated in the cleanroom using standard photolithography. ...
A breakthrough in nanotechnology accelerates vaccine production While COVID-19 hotspots have continued to emerge driven by the Delta variants, the data still shows that vaccinations are effective at preventing hospitalizations and deaths. While over 4 billion vaccine doses have been administered worldwide, only 27% of the world’s population and only 1.1% of people in low-income countries ...
A Scottish startup organisation devised an application-based solution to develop an assay with increased sensitivity and specificity to monitor TB infections in the field but did not have the technical experience to develop the microfluidic components to prepare and deliver the sample. The startup approached us to take advantage of our microfluidics expertise and ...
This approach also makes our platforms simple to use; no pumps or complex systems are required, as with microfluidic devices. RepliGut® Planar Our workhorse platform is a planar model (RepliGut® Planar) based on human stem cells that are expanded and then differentiated to recreate the human small intestine or colonic epithelium for compound screening. ...
Gene-modified cell therapies (GMCTs) represent the most effective therapeutic platform for many patients with advanced diseases including relapsed and refractory leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and other blood cancers [1]. Specifically, chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapies targeting CD19 have demonstrated remarkable responses and possibly cures in patients with advanced acute ...
The mission of Indee Labs is to use microfluidic vortex shedding as a scalable method to deliver CRISPR reagents into cells for developing affordable cell and gene therapies in the future. In our previous blog post, we summarized the work from their latest publication on CRISPR-editing in T cells using microfluidic devices. In this interview, we ...
Traditional Viscometer Theory and Design Current viscosity measurement techniques rely heavily on the use of capillary, cone and plate, and concentric cylinder viscometers. These devices are mainly limited to the laboratory setting and contain obstacles to portability. ...
Microfluidic platforms are an exciting new class of devices that integrate a multitude of biochemical techniques into a single chip, reducing experiments to a micro- or nano- scale. ...
