Quantification of Mechanical Forces and Physiological Processes Involved in Pollen Tube Growth Using Microfluidics and Microrobotics.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Pollen tubes face many obstacles on their way to the ovule. They have to decide whether to navigate around cells or penetrate the cell wall and grow through it or even within it. Besides chemical sensing, which directs the pollen tubes on their path ...

Microfluidic cap-to-dispense (μCD): a universal microfluidic-robotic interface for automated pipette-free high-precision liquid handling.

Lab on a chip
Microfluidic devices have been increasingly used for low-volume liquid handling operations. However, laboratory automation of such delicate devices has lagged behind due to the lack of world-to-chip (macro-to-micro) interfaces. In this paper, we have...
