Digital microfluidic immunocytochemistry in single cells [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2015 AbstractWe report a new technique called Digital microfluidic Immunocytochemistry in Single Cells (DISC). DISC automates protocols for cell culture, stimulation and immunocytochemistry, enabling the interrogation of protein phosphorylation on pulsing with stimulus for as little as 3 s.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The nanostructure, size, and function of mRNA‐loaded lipid nanoparticles are evaluated before drying, within polymer microneedles, and after rehydration. The results reveal the polymer and LNP loadings required to recover nanostructure and preserve the delivery performance in dry‐state formulations.

A digital microfluidic biochip synthesis framework
2012 IEEE/IFIP 20th International Conference on VLSI and System-on-Chip (VLSI-SoC), 2012 Synthesis of digital microfluidic biochips (DMFBs) is a crucial to the advancement and realization of miniaturized, automated, programmable biochemistry solutions; synthesis is performed in three steps: scheduling, placement and routing. In principle, algorithms for specific steps should be interchangeable with one another; however, different research ...

Digital Microfluidics with Bubble Manipulations by Dielectrophoresis
International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology, 2012 This paper presents basic bubble manipulations, including transporting, splitting, and merging, by dielectrophoresis (DEP) in an oil environment. In our presented method, bubbles are placed between parallel plates in an oil medium of a low vapor pressure,
