  • Publication number: 20160166186
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides devices, methods and systems for analyte detection and/or monitoring, e.g., the continuous and/or semi-continuous monitoring of in-vivo analyte concentrations in real time. Generally, the devices, methods and systems of the present disclosure make use of signaling probes; methods or devices for reducing interferent-based fouling of the signaling probes, non-specific binding to the signaling probes and/or occlusion of a sensor surface; and methods and/or devices for providing an adjusted signal based on a detected signal from the signaling probes. Compositions including conformation switching signaling probes are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20120115755
    Abstract: A microfluidic device may employ one or more sorting stations for separating target species from other species in a sample. The separation is driven by magnetophoresis. A sorting station generally includes separate buffer and sample streams. A magnetic field gradient applied to the sorting station deflects the flow path of magnetic particles (which selectively label the target species) from a sample stream into a buffer stream. The buffer stream leaving the sorting station is used to detect or further process purified target species labeled with the magnetic particles.

  • Publication number: 20080302732
    Abstract: A fluidic device employs one or more sorting stations for separating target species from other species in a sample. At least one of the sorting stations employs a magnetic field gradient to accomplish separation. In addition, the sorting station is integrated on a single substrate with one or more other modules for processing the sample. For example, the fluidic device may include both a sorting station and a separate trapping station that holds some or all components of the sample for additional processing. The trapping station may be located at a position upstream or downstream from the sorting module.
