On-demand Serial Dilution Using Quantized Nano/picoliter-scale Droplets
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a fully automated droplet-based microfluidic device for on-demand serial dilution that is capable of achieving a dilution ratio of >6000 (concentration ranges from 1 mM to 160nM) over 35 nanoliter-scale droplets. This serial diluter can be applied to high throughput and label-free kinetic assays by integrating with our previously developed on-demand droplet-based microfluidic with mass spectrometry detection.

On-chip dilution in nanoliter droplets.
Droplet microfluidics is enabling reactions at nano- and picoliter scale, resulting in faster and cheaper biological and chemical analyses. However, varying concentrations of samples on a drop-to-drop basis is still a challenging task in droplet microfluidics, primarily limited due to lack of control over individual droplets. In this paper, we report an on-chip microfluidic droplet dilution str...
متن کاملPicoliter DNA sequencing chemistry on an electrowetting-based digital microfluidic platform.
The results of investigations into performing DNA sequencing chemistry on a picoliter-scale electrowetting digital microfluidic platform are reported. Pyrosequencing utilizes pyrophosphate produced during nucleotide base addition to initiate a process ending with detection through a chemiluminescence reaction using firefly luciferase. The intensity of light produced during the reaction can be q...
متن کاملPrinted droplet microfluidics for on demand dispensing of picoliter droplets and cells.
Although the elementary unit of biology is the cell, high-throughput methods for the microscale manipulation of cells and reagents are limited. The existing options either are slow, lack single-cell specificity, or use fluid volumes out of scale with those of cells. Here we present printed droplet microfluidics, a technology to dispense picoliter droplets and cells with deterministic control. T...
متن کاملHigh-throughput quantitative polymerase chain reaction in picoliter droplets.
Limiting dilution PCR has become an increasingly useful technique for the detection and quantification of rare species in a population, but the limit of detection and accuracy of quantification are largely determined by the number of reactions that can be analyzed. Increased throughput may be achieved by reducing the reaction volume and increasing processivity. We have designed a high-throughpu...
متن کاملIntegration of monolithic porous polymer with droplet-based microfluidics on a chip for nano/picoliter volume sample analysis
In this paper, a porous polymer nanostructure has been integrated with droplet-based microfluidics in a single planar format. Monolithic porous polymer (MPP) was formed selectively within a microfluidic channel. The resulting analyte bands were sequentially comartmentalised into droplets. This device reduces band broadening and the effects of post-column dead volume by the combination of the tw...
