  • Microfluidic devices for the rapid and automated processing of sample populations
    Patent number: 11192109
    Abstract: Microfluidic devices for the rapid and automated processing of sample populations are provided. Described are multiplexer microfluidic devices configured to serially deliver a plurality of distinct sample populations to a sample processing element rapidly and automatically, without cross-contaminating the distinct sample populations. Also provided are microfluidic sample processing elements that can be used to rapidly and automatically manipulate and/or interrogate members of a sample population. The microfluidic devices can be used to improve the throughput and quality of experiments involving model organisms, such as C. elegans.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 18, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 7, 2021
    Assignee: Board of Regents, The University of Texas System
    Inventors: Adela Ben-Yakar, Navid Ghorashian, Sertan Kutal Gökçe, Sam Xun Guo, William Neil Everett, Frederic Bourgeois
