Metastatic tumors have poor prognoses for progression-free and overall survival for all cancer patients. Rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and rarer circulating tumor cell clusters (CTCCs) are potential biomarkers of metastatic growth, with CTCCs r...
The ability to deploy decentralized laboratories with autonomous and reliable disease diagnosis holds the potential to deliver accessible healthcare services for public safety. While microfluidic technologies provide precise manipulation of small flu...
Smartphone has long been considered as one excellent platform for disease screening and diagnosis, especially when combined with microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) that feature low cost, ease of use, and pump-free operations. In this...
On-site nucleic acid testing (NAT) plays an important role for disease monitoring and pathogen diagnosis. In this work, we developed an automated and fully-integrated nucleic acid analyzer by combining the automated liquid handling robot technique wi...
Encapsulation of cells inside microfluidic droplets is central to several applications involving cellular analysis. Although, theoretically the encapsulation statistics are expected to follow a Poisson distribution, experimentally this may not be ach...
A critical microchannel technique is to isolate specific objects, such as cells, in a biological solution. Generally, this particle sorting is achieved by designing a microfluidic device and tuning its control values; however, unpredictable motions o...
Biomedical research relies on identification and isolation of specific cell types using molecular biomarkers and sorting methods such as fluorescence or magnetic activated cell sorting. Labelling processes potentially alter the cells' properties and ...
Combining microfluidics technology with machine learning represents an innovative approach to conduct massive quantitative cell behavior study and implement smart decision-making systems in support of clinical diagnostics. The spleen plays a key-role...
Serial measurement of a large panel of protein biomarkers near the bedside could provide a promising pathway to transform the critical care of acutely ill patients. However, attaining the combination of high sensitivity and multiplexity with a short ...
The identification, sorting and analysis of rare target single cells in human blood has always been a clinically meaningful medical challenge. Here, we developed a microfluidic robot platform for sorting specific rare cells from complex clinical bloo...
