Universal microfluidic gradient generator.
The study of cellular responses to chemical gradients in vitro would greatly benefit from experimental systems that can generate precise and stable gradients comparable to chemical nonhomogeneities occurring in vivo. Recently, microfluidic devices have been demonstrated for linear gradient generation for biological applications with unmatched accuracy and stability. However, no systematic appro...
متن کاملA microfluidic dual gradient generator for conducting cell-based drug combination assays.
We present a microfluidic chip that generates linear concentration gradients of multiple solutes that are orthogonally-aligned to each other. The kinetics of gradient formation was characterized using a fluorescent tracer matching the molecular weight of small inhibitory drugs. Live-cell signalling and motility experiments were conducted to demonstrate the potential uses and advantages of the d...
متن کاملA Transwell Microfluidic Gradient Generator for Cell Culture
We describe and characterize a microfluidic device that enables the generation of quantitative biomolecular gradients in an innovative format which interfaces directly with pre-existing cell cultures. Our device is a simple, easy-to-use add-on that utilizes conventional 6-well plates and the format of Transwell inserts to support a microfluidic membrane-based gradient generator that is untether...
متن کاملWaveform Generator for Load Susceptibility Testing
Power quality test facilities developed at the University of Wollongong include a 10kVA waveform generator (WG) of which the detailed design and operation has been described previously. The WG is essentially a programmable IGBT voltage source inverter controlled by a micro-controller. The original intention of this generator was to test electrical equipment under the influence of harmonic disto...
متن کاملAdaptive microfluidic gradient generator for quantitative chemotaxis experiments.
Chemotactic motion in a chemical gradient is an essential cellular function that controls many processes in the living world. For a better understanding and more detailed modelling of the underlying mechanisms of chemotaxis, quantitative investigations in controlled environments are needed. We developed a setup that allows us to separately address the dependencies of the chemotactic motion on t...
