With nanoliter-scale reaction volumes, microfluidics-based real-time PCR (RT-PCR) devices speed up genomic analyses and library prep. With the advent of microfluidics-based real-time PCR (RT-PCR) ...

In vitro diagnostics (IVD) is an umbrella term for tests conducted on blood or tissue samples to detect diseases, determine the efficacy of novel or established treatments, and monitor health.

A new discovery has reshaped our understanding of PCR chip technology: water vapor, not air expansion, is the primary culprit behind bubble formation in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based chips. This ...

The Lunaphore COMET™ platform is a fully automated liquid handler and microscope imaging scanner capable of performing sequential, multiplex, immunofluorescent staining and imaging samples adherent to ...

A team from the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University, led by associate professor Dr. Zachary Gagnon and graduate student Md Nazibul Islam, has developed a novel ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Advanced molecular diagnostics tests that can rapidly and precisely detect diseases within the home could revolutionize preventive medicine and improve global biosecurity. Nucleic ...

To create a cervix-on-a-chip, the researchers added cells that line the cervical canal to one channel of a microfluidic device. To an adjacent channel, they introduced cervical fibroblasts that form ...

A complete blood count can help ascertain the health of a patient and typically includes an estimate of the hemoglobin concentration, which can indicate several conditions, including anemia, ...

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology published a new high-pressure liquid seal method in Microsystems & Nanoengineering on ...

Droplet creation is a crucial but challenging subject in microfluidics. Depending on the application, the objective is to produce droplets of a particular size. Two immiscible phases are used in ...
