  • Microfluidic system for high-throughput, droplet-based single molecule analysis with low reagent consumption
    Patent number: 9284601
    Abstract: A microfluidic device for a confocal fluorescence detection system has an input channel defined by a body of the microfluidic device, a sample concentration section defined by the body of the microfluidic device and in fluid connection with the input channel, a mixing section defined by the body of the microfluidic device and in fluid connection with the concentration section, and a detection region that is at least partially transparent to illumination light of the confocal fluorescence detection system and at least partially transparent to fluorescent light when emitted from a sample under observation as the sample flows through the detection region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2013
    Date of Patent: March 15, 2016
    Assignee: The Johns Hopkins University
    Inventors: Tza-Huei Wang, Kelvin J. Liu, Christopher M. Puleo, Tushar D. Rane
