Open microfluidic and nanofluidic systems
The labs of the future will be "labs-on-a-chip", i.e., integrated chemical and biochemical laboratories shrunk down to the size of a computer chip. An essential prerequisite for such labs are appropriate microcompartments for the confinement of very small amounts of liquids and chemical reagents. Directly accessible surface channels, which can be fabricated by available photolithographic methods,...Affymetrix Licenses Microfluidics Technology From Caliper Life Sciences
Caliper Life Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CALP) and Affymetrix, Inc. (Nasdaq: AFFX) today announced that Caliper has issued Affymetrix a non-exclusive license to use a portion of Caliper's microfluidics patent estate with Affymetrix' GeneChip(R) microarray technologies. The license extends to the manufacture and sale of GeneChip brand products in all areas of application, including research, diagnosti...Microfluidic chip helps solve cellular mating puzzle
Using a biochemical version of a computer chip, a team led by Johns Hopkins researchers has solved a long-standing mystery related to the mating habits of yeast cells. The findings, described in the Feb. 18 Advance Online Publication of the journal Nature, shed new light on the way cells send and receive signals from one another and from the environment through a process called signal tr...Microfluidic Power Supply from Major Science
Description:The Programmable MP-3500P-F Power Supply can be applied for any Microfluidic application....Microfluidic analysis of multiplex PCR products for the genotyping of Helicobacter pylori
Gastric infection with Helicobacterpylori (H. pylori) is the majorcause of chronic active gastritisand is associated with the pathogenesisof peptic ulcer and gastriccarcinoma. Recent studies using amultiplex PCR (mPCR) basedapproach distinguished differental...
