Completely automated open-path FT-IR spectrometry.
Atmospheric analysis by open-path Fourier-transform infrared (OP/FT-IR) spectrometry has been possible for over two decades but has not been widely used because of the limitations of the software of commercial instruments. In this paper, we describe the current state-of-the-art of the hardware and software that constitutes a contemporary OP/FT-IR spectrometer. We then describe advances that hav...
متن کاملSelection of phage-displayed peptides on live adherent cells in microfluidic channels.
Affinity reagents that bind to specific molecular targets are an essential tool for both diagnostics and targeted therapeutics. There is a particular need for advanced technologies for the generation of reagents that specifically target cell-surface markers, because transmembrane proteins are notoriously difficult to express in recombinant form. We have previously shown that microfluidics offer...
متن کاملLong-term Steady State Perfusion Culture of Mammalian Cells Using a Robust Microfluidic Cell Retention Device
Cell retention devices are used to retain cells in containers during perfusion culture. However, the conventional membrane-based filtration devices have challenges such as membrane fouling/clogging and increased contamination risk due to frequent filter replacements. To solve these challenges, we introduce a new microfluidic cell retention device based on inertial cell focusing. We demonstrated...
متن کاملWhat Is an Ft-ir and an Ft-ir Spectrometer?
An FT-IR Spectrometer is an instrument which acquires broadband NIR to FIR spectra. Unlike a dispersive instrument, i.e. grating monochromator or spectrograph, an FT-IR Spectrometer collects all wavelengths simultaneously. This feature, called the Multiplex or Felgett Advantage, is discussed in detail on page 3. FT-IR Spectrometers are often simply called FT-IRs. But for the purists, an FT-IR (...
متن کاملMicrochamber Device for Detection of Transporter Activity of Adherent Cells
We present a method to detect the transporter activity of intact adherent cells using a microchamber device. When adherent cells are seeded onto the poly-di-methyl siloxane substrate having microchambers with openings smaller than the size of a cell, the cells form a confluent layer that covers the microchambers, creating minute, confined spaces. As substances exported across the cell membrane ...
