Droplet microfluidics.
Droplet-based microfluidic systems have been shown to be compatible with many chemical and biological reagents and capable of performing a variety of "digital fluidic" operations that can be rendered programmable and reconfigurable. This platform has dimensional scaling benefits that have enabled controlled and rapid mixing of fluids in the droplet reactors, resulting in decreased reaction time...
متن کاملFrom Simple Features to Sophisticated Evaluation Functions
This paper discusses a practical framework for the semi{ automatic construction of evaluation functions for games. Based on a structured evaluation function representation, a procedure for exploring the feature space is presented that is able to discover new features in a computational feasible way. Besides the theoretical aspects, related practical issues such as the generation of training pos...
متن کاملFunctional single-cell hybridoma screening using droplet-based microfluidics.
Monoclonal antibodies can specifically bind or even inhibit drug targets and have hence become the fastest growing class of human therapeutics. Although they can be screened for binding affinities at very high throughput using systems such as phage display, screening for functional properties (e.g., the inhibition of a drug target) is much more challenging. Typically these screens require the g...
متن کاملA high-throughput cellulase screening system based on droplet microfluidics.
A new ultra-high-throughput screening assay for the detection of cellulase activity was developed based on microfluidic sorting. Cellulase activity is detected using a series of coupled enzymes leading to the formation of a fluorescent product that can be detected on a chip. Using this method, we have achieved up to 300-fold enrichments of the active population of cells and greater than 90% pur...
متن کاملBioaffinity Mass Spectrometry Screening Using Droplet-Based Microfluidics
Bioaffinity mass spectrometry screening is a novel approach using non-denaturing electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) in identifying drug leads. This screening technique can detect and preserve noncovalent protein-active drug ligand complexes under different physiological conditions. Although there are many successful screening campaigns employing this technique, the big challen...
